Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CAMINO DE ESTRELLA) (5-2) - Competitive in all six attempts on the dirt, colt enters off a 2nd place finish Aug. 25 at Del Mar racing at this level and distance. He draws inside of the other contenders, Bejarano is back on the re-ride, and this 3yo by 'Mineshaft' should love the long stretch here.
2nd pick: #7 (Wise Curlin) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Peter Eurton, and this 4yo by 'Curlin' is racing for the first time in seven months. Stalker has been competitive in three straight at this level and distance and is an obvious threat if ready.
3rd pick: #8 (Thorpe d'Oro) (7-2) - A big disappointment in his last pair, speedy colt finished almost six lengths behind 'Camino de'Estrella' Aug. 25 at Del Mar. He just missed here July 9 and earned the highest figure any of these has reached to date that afternoon.
4th pick: #5 (Captain Call) (8-1) - Lightly raced 4yo moves from grass to dirt following a pair of competitive efforts on the grass at this level and distance. The type that can 'run all day,' he should be making up ground during the stretch run.
