Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ONE FAST BRO) (4-1) - He had a tough outside post (10 of 10) and had serious traffic issues when finishing 5th of 10, beaten just over five lengths here at this level and distance Sept. 28. That effort came facing 'open' company, and he's back in with fellow state breds today.

2nd pick: #7 (I Will Not) (6-1) - Reddam home bred stretches out in distance after a wide and even effort sprinting five furlongs debuting here Oct. 5. The leading trainer at this meet, Doug O'Neill brings him back quickly while sending his longer. A 'live' price play.

3rd pick: #4 (Canyon Crest) (5-1) - Nice debut Aug. 22 at Del Mar saw him rally to finish 4th, only a 1/2 length behind 'One Fast Bro.' Given two months of rest, he's worked six times since Sept. 7, and trainer Mike McCarthy wins at a 17% rate second time out.

4th pick: #3 (Fly the Sky) (5-2) - The main speed of the party, he's finished 2nd in two straight. They came in his first pair on the grass and with the addition of blinkers. This Gary Barber home bred is an obvious threat at a short price.
