Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (TRIBAL TRIBUTE) (4-1) - Veteran races first off a Chris Hartman claim (a strong 25% winning angle). Old timer finished 4th at this level and distance the day he changed barns at Del Mar Aug. 28th. 7yo gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Overcomer) (3-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he has the best early speed, and is trying a two-turn distance for the first time. He's four of eight sprinting on the dirt and is a very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Image of Joplin) (4-1) - Stalker moves from grass to dirt in his second back off a trio of layoffs. Gelding has back class, but hasn't raced on the dirt for a very long time. Working fine locally, he's capable of contending with his best.
