TOP PICK #3 DOC'S WOLF E (8/5) Gray son of Wolf Power has faced some reasonably strong basement level maidens and draws a field that he can beat. Last out he chased the pace from the far outside and finished 4th in a race that was run 6 lengths faster than par. He has not only been facing the toughest competition, he is also the speed of the field. The gray should hit the front immediately and take them from coast to coast. Laurente will replace Leparoux.

HORSES FOR EXACTA OR TRIFECTA WAGERING 5- BLACKENBERRY 2/1 Chased a runaway repeat winner home, finishing 5 lengths clear of the rest of the field. Much better late energy last time and is headed in the right direction.

6- BEYOND DESCRIPTION 5/1 Cuts back to a sprint after several disappointing races at a mile. Claimed out of his debut for $15,000, he now tries with the blinkers off. Contender in a soft spot.
