Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (STARRING JOHN WAIN) (4-1) - He's racing off a two-month break, is dropping into a claimer, while adding blinkers. This colt has raced evenly in both while facing tougher, and he worked a bullet five furlongs at Los Alamitos Sept. 14.
2nd pick: #5 (Stay in Yo Lane) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he finished a fine 3rd when debuting at this level Sept. 20 at Los Alamitos. He had a rough trip between horses late and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (I Belong to Becky) (3-1) - Palma owned and trained gelding finished 2nd as the 7-5 favorite Sept. 20 at Los Alamitos. He was a 1/2-length in front of a troubled 'Stay in Yo Lane.' He has good early speed and should be in this from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #3 (Unplayable) (10-1) - Longshot has early speed and has been beaten by 3.5 lengths or less in both starts. Trainer Mike Machowsky adds blinkers (17%) and replaces apprentice Espinoza with veteran Edwin Maldonado.
