Kegger’s Picks
Holeshot – THE RYAN XPRESS – The oddsmakers picked him as their favourite, and he will be a threat to take this field wire to wire. While not the Kegger pick to finish in the lead, he appears to be the only one who prefers to start at or near the front.
Kegger’s Favourite – STEEL EYED KING – Won his graded debut with a career high speed two starts ago. Will be looking to recover from a disappointing last start, but he is stretching back to his preferred 10F distance.
Kegger’s Longshot – COLD WAR VIC – Winner of five straight, including his stakes debut, this gelding has won by dominate margins. He looks primed to roll right through his graded debut.
