Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ZIPMAN) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bob Baffert, colt rallied to finish a distant 4th when debuting at this level sprinting on the Del Mar turf Aug 9. Working fast since, he moves to the dirt for a 27% 2nd out barn. Gets a slight edge in a small but deep field.
2nd pick: #2 (Mr Vargas) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he missed by a 'neck' on the Del Mar turf Aug 9 and was well in front of 'Zipman'. Speedy and lightly raced, 3yo has been sharp in all three starts and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #4 (Papa Jazz) (4-1) - The second of the Baffert pair, this debuting colt by 'Scat Dady' cost $475,000 as a yearling back in August of 2015. Working fast at Del Mar, Baffert wins at a 25% rate first out.
4th pick: #3 (Psychedelicat) (7-2) - He raced evenly when beaten 5.5 lengths at this level Aug 13 at Del Mar. It was his first in just under 8 weeks and he's worked fast since. May grab a share with a late rally.
