Ralph M Hinds Invitational Handicap (5:10PM PT): #8 Cigar Man (9-2) easily captured his last flat mile synthetic start at Del Mar, and he earned a strong speed rating the late time he was on conventional dirt in Florida. He will be finishing in 3rd race off the shelf. #1 Acclamation (9-2) almost wired the Grade 2 Del Mar Derby, and look out if he shakes loose early from the rail. Talamo sticks with the early-pressing type. The Plays: $16 to win #8, $10 Quinella 1-8, Trifecta 1-8/all/1-8 ($14)
