CHARLI MICHAEL (7) is a distance specialist who got a long way back when 22 lengths from the winner in seventh over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his when resuming fourth at Delta Downs the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. CHEATIN CHARLIE (3) lifted strongly to score by 0.1 lengths three runs back at Delta Downs (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should settle handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. HARD FOUR (10) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 6f at this track, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MUCHO MARVIN (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
