Top pick: #6 (CALLIDE VALLEY) - Lightly-raced son of "Indian Charlie" has been freshened-up since July 4 and will take a sizeable drops for this attempt. Training fast for a good barn (Eddie Kenneally) and he has a win in his past at this tricky 7 furlong trip. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Talk to Nick) - Stalker draws a nice post for his style and his trainer (Rudy Rodriquez) is doing well at this very tough meet. At the right price and a threat from close range.
3rd pick: #3 (Jimmie Vegas) - One of a pair entered by trainer Linda Rice and they'll race uncoupled. Freshened-up since June 4 he'll be cutting back to a sprint for the first time since his maiden win last Oct. at Aqueduct. Late threat.
