Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BEST TWO MINUTES) (5-1) - Very consistent veteran tired here at this level here Oct. 6 in his first since Aug. 19. Claimed last out by Steve Knapp, he tries hard every time and has a good chance from a stalking spot.
2nd pick: #7 (Montmarte) (7-2) - Very lightly-raced, he faces winners following a very sharp maiden win here Sept. 30. He has room upside and may have a very bright future.
3rd pick: #6 (Allaboutabduction) (5-1) - Another very consistent veteran, he races out a negative trainer change following a claim. In top shape, he's a win candidate if he holds his form.
4th pick: #4 (Junior Gilliam) (4-1) - He won her for a $32K tag Oct. 8 in his first since Aug 22 and first following a Hollendorfer claim. Calif. bred is capable of factoring with his best.
