Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (PAPA'S PLAYBOY) (8-5) - He's been sharp in three straight starts at or around this tag. Stalker makes his local debut after finishing 4th of 10, beaten 1 1/2 lengths Aug 14 at Del Mar facing a bit tougher. He's worked 5-times since and is sitting on his maiden win.
2nd pick: #1 (Simplicityisgenius) (3-1) - Speedy grey gelding breaks from the rail this afternoon. He tired at this tag Sep 4 at Del Mar and had an outside post that day. Win candidate, he should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #9 (Stauffenberg) (20-1) - He's shortening back up in distance after a wide and non-threatening effort here going a mile Sep 11. This field is pretty weak for the level and he may pass enough during the long stretch run to grab a small share at a big price.
4th pick: #4 (Lovely Summer) (4-1) - Un-raced since last Dec., he's working steadily and is taking a big drop in class. Dangerous against this group if ready.
