Keen tempo with Neffu and Led A Merry Dance prominent. RADRADRA (1) he has been course placed before. Can handle it dry and wet as well. Win chance here without any question. WIND RUSH (5) has been five times placed and has run fourth three times and fifth once. Uber-consistent 3yo gelding. Well drawn today. Top tier must here. LED A MERRY DANCE (2) has run well in two of his four runs this year. Trifecta and first four must in a line up such as this. NEFFU (3) he has not gone a bad race to date. Drawn wide in this. On pacer. Trifecta and first four chance in this field. HAPPY VENTURE (6) is a place and first four hope once again. He has been racing well in last two starts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Radradra and Wind Rush are win wagers.
