Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PAPA ROYALE) (5-2) - It's noted at this non-winner of two lifetime condition that this 4-year-old is the only horse who broke his maiden at Los Alamitos. Speed/stalker did so at this distance July 8, has the rail and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Antinanco) (4-1) - Competitive in nine of his last 10 starts, he enters off a 3rd place finish at this distance facing tougher at Del Mar Aug 9. In shape and expect to run well in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Our Nation) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's been freshened up since July 19 when he won at Del Mar for a $16,000 price tag. Speed/stalker worked fast Aug. 29 and is an obvious win candidate.
4th pick: #3 (Gunslinger) (10-1) - He's dropping in class and stretching out in distance. Gelding has been racing evenly for some time now, but is capable of getting a share at a big price with just a small move forward.
