Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PRINCE CHARMANT) (4-1) - He ships down from Santa Rosa where he was a winner going 5.5 furlongs for a $5,000 tag Aug. 6. It was his best in two years and came first off a John Martin claim. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Hawk's Eyes) (3-1) - Brazilian import rallied to finish a close up 4th Aug. 18 at Del Mar. Consistent veteran is an obvious win candidate, and I could have easily made him the top choice.
3rd pick: #8 (Swiss Cheese) (8-1) - Veteran is another stretching out off a good effort Aug. 26. She's run well at the trip here in the past and 6yo draws a nice outside post for his style.
4th pick: #5 (Always Never) (10-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, this longshot moves way up in class and is stretching out in distance. He fits with his best, and he can be in this from gate-to-wire at a big price.
