Top pick: #3 (OMAR LITTLE) (2-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, he's dropping into a career soft spot, and is switching from "poly" to dirt. He's 5-1-2-1 on conventional dirt and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Patriotic Lion) (4-1) - His only win in 33 starts came here on July 13. His last pair at Del Mar are better than the results, and this veteran had a bullet 3-furlong breeze at Santa Anita six days ago. Win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (Dehere Is Gone) (7-2) - Although his record stands at 9-1-0-1, this 5yo rarely gets beaten more than five lengths. Stalker is fine on real dirt and is a threat from close range as they turn for home.
4th pick: #1 (I've Had Enough) (6-1) - He has a bit of speed and will be breaking from the rail. Lightly raced 3yo may hold on for a minor award, but the other three selections are more likely to win this.
