CANDY MAN MARTIN (5) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 6½f at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FIBER PROOF (1) was well fancied last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Great chance to atone. MEXICALI MIKE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 7 lengths when sixth in a 6½f contest at this track three weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRANDPA JOE (3) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 6½f at this track, clocking in 4. 5 lengths from the winner. Definite chance.
