Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ROCKET HEAT) (7-2) - Very quick from the gate, he loves it here on the dirt (5-2-2-0), and this five-furlong sprint is made to order for his front running style. In shape and the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Oil) (5-1) - Another that breaks fast, he's been freshened up since late August when he won a grass sprint at this trip at Del Mar. Much improved at that time, he's a major threat if returns in the same form.

3rd pick: #1 (Driver Crazy) (8-1) - Stretch runner defeated a bit weaker going six furlongs at Stockton Sept. 19th. He's won here in the past, is working fast, breaks from the rail, and Bejarano is aboard. Stretch threat.

4th pick: #6 (Ankeny Hill) (4-1) - Speed/stalker enters off a pair of 4th place finishes in sprint stakes at Del Mar. He's a perfect two-for-two at this distance and should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
