Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (I AM THE DANGER) (5-2) - The field's only 4yo, he missed by a 1/2 length going 6 furlongs Aug. 23 at Del Mar for a $32K price tag. Claimed that afternoon by Doug O'Neill, he's worked him twice here since and both have been on the quick side.
2nd pick: #3 (Fast Cotton) (4-1) - He set a quick pace before weakening to finish second at this distance for a $20K tag Aug. 26 at Del Mar. It was his 2nd back from an 11-month layoff and he's a threat today despite doubling up in value.
3rd pick: #1 (Wild Verse) (3-1) - Gelding tired to finish a close-up fourth after contesting the pace Aug. 23 at Del Mar. It was his first since debuting in late July of 2017 and he has the rail while making back-to-back starts for the first time. A win candidate.
