Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FORMALLY WILD) (2-1) - Lightly raced grey gelding dueled through fast fractions and held down the place spot Sept. 5th at Del Mar facing just a bit tougher. It was his second back off a nine-week break, and he's worked fast here since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Top Drawer) (5-2) - Gelding was claimed here in late June by Hector Palma for $25K. Sent in for almost a two-month freshening, he rallied to finish 2nd at the claimed price going 5.5-furlongs at Del Mar Aug. 19th. He's worked since and is dropping to a new low in class for this attempt.
3rd pick: #7 (Cougar Country) (7-2) - 3yo raced close up, bid while wide, then stayed on to finish 3rd, a bit over a length behind 'Formally Wild" Sept. 5th at Del Mar. Must be left in the three-horse win mix.
