Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BE A LADY) (9-2) - Consistent veteran mare raced evenly when finishing third in a Los Alamitos sprint facing tougher Sept. 20. It was her first since Aug. 1 when she was claimed for $25K at Del Mar. Speed/stalker breaks just off the rail and has an ooutstanding local record 11-4-5-0.
2nd pick: #6 (Duranga) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4yo has gone 5-3-1 1 in dirt sprints and is racing for the first time since Sept. 1. One-run type is working steadily and is a late threat despite lacking the experience of most.
3rd pick: #7 (Sly Humor) (4-1) - She tired when finishing 5 lengths behind 'Duranga' Sept. 1 at Del Mar. Speed/stalker has back class, likes it here 8-3-3-1, and is nicely spotted by trainer Vlad Cerin.
4th pick: #4 (Ransomed) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, she's dropping in class while shortening up in distance. She fits with her best and is a contender, but is no 'lock' at a short price.
