Caldante is the probable leader in the small field. CALDANTE (1) loves it here on his home circuit with three wins and three seconds from ten outings and has been racing with a lot of confidence of late. Strips fitter third-up from the spell and is drawn to sit up on speed from the inside marble. Looks the one they all have to run down. PREMIUM STAR (6) was a touch plain at the latest effort but go on the strong win over this course and distance two back. Can bounce right back. VANCOUVER BAY (2) has a handy record over this seven-furlong journey with a win and three placings from seven attempts. Include with Wiggins on board. GROVERS PREDICTION (7) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caldante to go back-to-back.
