Forecasts

Opera Ballo (8/15), Nations Pride (11/4), First Conquest (6/1), Chicago Critic (20/1), Miss Of Change (50/1), Caramelito (66/1), Stormy Ocean (80/1)

Verdict

Charlie Appleby looks to hold the cards and his OPERA BALLO can quickly resume his upward curve here. Nations Pride looks the biggest danger if fully on song, while First Conquest can round out the places.
