Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ALAMO) (5-2) - 4yo by 'War Front' has yet to finish worse than 4th in 8-career starts and has never been beaten more than 2 1/2 lengths. Stalker is training fast for his first since July 26 and ran a career best here when finishing 2nd at this level and distance May 21. The horse to beat as Bejarano gets aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #5 (Heat) (6-1) - Longshot moves back to the grass after a pair of even efforts on the dirt. Lightly raced & improving, he's a major threat at a square price.

3rd pick: #8 (Film Freak) (8-1) - Unraced since late Nov. of 2014, colt is training fast for his new trainer (Tim Yakteen). Home bred has ability and is a stretch threat if ready off the long absence.

4th pick: #6 (Sleepwalker) (4-1) - Another that's lightly raced, he stretching out in distance after running 2nd at this level going 5-furlongs on the Del Mar grass Sep 7. An encouraging start, it was his first ever on the turf.
