Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (INDOCTRINATION) (5-1) - Irish import has finished close up in his last pair at Del Mar and is stretching out in distance and does so with blinkers on. Very wide there Aug. 19, he was beaten three lengths by a pair of today's rivals. Can take this with a bit of improvement at a square price.
2nd pick: #8 (Icy Street) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he missed by a 'head' last out while three lengths in front of 'Indoctrination.' Strong finisher has been working steadily since and is an strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Acker) (6-1) - Home bred colt moves up in class in his first start in two months. He rallied to finish a close up third at this distance Aug. 23 at Del Mar racing for a $62,500 claiming tag. Working above average, 3-year-old by 'Include' is a late threat.
4th pick: #5 (Malibu Music) (4-1) - Much improved since switching to the grass two back, he's been beaten less than a length in both. Grey son of 'Malibu Moon' has a flexible style and must be left in the mix.
