Top pick: #5 (CHARLIES THE MAN) - Speedy son of "Indian Charlie" just failed to last August 3 as he set all the pace and held gamely when challenged to miss by less than a length. His blinkers come off today and he's set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #3 (Rise to Glory) - Improving colt by "Giant's Causeway" is in the barn of the leading trainer at this meet (Mark Casse) and has finished second in two of three starts on this surface. Blinkers go on and he's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Mark's Soul) - He moves back to the main-track after a pair of even efforts on the turf. He has a strong stretch kick and finished second here on this surface May 15 in his only previous appearance on it.
