Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CLIFTON BEACH) (2-1) - Colt has been competitive in five straight starts and enters off a 2nd place finish here at this tag going 5.5 furlongs Sept. 10. In shape, speedy, and this 4yo gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Sixes) (3-1) - Lightly raced 4yo is dropping far down in class while switching from turf to dirt in his second start back following a 10.5-month layoff. He had a troubled break and a wide trip in his return on the Del Mar grass Sept. 1 and is a strong win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (Royal Seeker) (4-1) - Away since Jan. 13, he's finished 2nd in two of his last four going longer while facing tougher. NEW gelding is working steadily, drops to a new low, and does so with blinkers on. A threat if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Here Comes Autism) (30-1) - Longshot runs third back from a 4.5-month layoff and is cutting back in distance. I think he may grab a minor award at a very big price.
