Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (VIOLENT AFFAIR) (6-1) - This longshot tired after setting a pressured pace while between horses here at this tag and trip Sept. 7. It was his first around two turns, was a positive effort, and veteran Art Sherman is adding blinkers for this one. $80K 3yo has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Spirit MISSION) (3-1) - Son of 'Scat Daddy' takes a big drop in class and draws a ground saving post. He lost all chance when forced very wide at Del Mar Aug. 30. Trainer Bob Hess, Jr. ads blinkers and Tyler Baze gets aboard.
3rd pick: #2 (June Two Four) (12-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since Aug. 8. One run type was away slowly in his last pair, but had a tough rail post going seven furlongs. He moves off the inside, stretches out in distance, and is dangerous with an alert beginning.
4th pick: #8 (Welldidyougetit) (4-1) - Lightly raced 3yo may be the main speed as he stretches out around two-turns for the first time. Well backed in his latest pair, he'll take them as far as he can.
