Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (KLIMT) (9-5) - Since an even effort when debuting here June 25, this $435K son of 'Quality Road' has won three straight. His latest score was an easy win in the G1 Del Mar Futurity going seven furlongs Sept. 5. Working fast, like five others running, he's trying a two-turn distance for the first time.
2nd pick: #5 (Straight Fire) (5-2) - Speedy colt set a pressured pace but was no match for 'Klimt' last out. He did hold down the place spot but was almost 4.5 lengths in back of him at the finish. His early sped must be respected.
3rd pick: #4 (Midnight Pleasure) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced, he ran evenly when checking in third in the Del Mar Futurity (G1). It was his first facing winners and he was almost six lengths behind 'Klimt' and 1.5 in back of 'Straight Fire.' Bred to like the longer trip, son of 'Midnight Lute' sold for $310,000 this past April.
