Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (WE GO NOW) (3-1) - He enters off a near off a near miss Aug. 25 at Del Mar facing $20K claimers at this mile distance. Stalker was stretching out that following a series of sprints and gets a slim edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Pioneer of the West) (2-1) - On the sidelines since July 26, he raced evenly that day facing a bit tougher at Del Mar. Six-year-old is working steadily and is dropping to a new low for his local debut.
3rd pick: #4 (Rolls Royce Deal) (8-1) - Longshot takes a slight drop following a wide and even effort Aug. 29 at Del Mar at this distance. He had finished 2nd there in his previous start and a repeat of that effort makes him a threat.
4th pick: #1 (Schoenhadrt) (5-1) - Three-year-old was in good form earlier this year at Oaklawn Park but has raced poorly since coming to the West Coast at the beginning of July. He has the rail, drops to a new low, and 3yo by 'Shackleford' worked a solid half-mile Sept. 9 at Santa Anita.
