(# 5) SELF MADE MAN - Gelding has made tremendous strides as the season has gone along. Bred and owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey, he has won his only three starts on artificial surfaces with ridiculous ease. Continues his great AM work, and can take these from on or just off the top.

(# 7) Slew's Tizzy - Capable colt has been overmatched in many of his starts, as he's just not that talented. This group, which consists of many performers who are better on grass, should me more to his liking.

(# 6) Catman Running - He's two-for-two on this course, including an impressive win in the Battaglia Memorial here last March. His pair of return runs should have him on edge for a big effort third off the bench.

(# 2) Sidcup - Deep closer has a good record on artificial surfaces (6-3-1-0). Capable of a strong middle move, and that will be what it takes to have a chance at the top prize.
