Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NOT ENOUGH EDDIE) (8-5) - He's one of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill and they give him a strong hand in this small stakes written for claimers. Reddam home bred if moving from turf to dirt after an even effort facing tougher at Del mar in a 5-furlong grass sprint for a $55K tag Aug 20. Three-year-old is 2-for-2 at Los Alamitos and worked a bullet half-mile here Sept. 16. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Ultimate Luck) (3-1) - The second of the O'Neill runners, he enters off of three straight good efforts and his stalking style fits this group. Lightly-raced gelding finished third here Sept. 13 and has a shot if 'Not Enough Eddie' is sub par.
3rd pick: #1 (Maximinus) (6-1) - He has excellent early speed and is racing first off a Bob Hess Jr. claim. Well bred 4-year-old has the rail and should be involved from start-to-finish.
