Kegger’s Picks

Holeshot – GUN INSPECTOR – He’s not normally a front runner, preferring to sit 3+ lengths off the lead with more of a mid pack position. However this field is all closers, and someone will need to lead.

Kegger’s Favourite – THANKUFORTHEVENOM – Other runners have thrown up higher speeds, but he has the edge in my books due to experience and success at this distance. He finished 2nd at the GI ‘The Big Apple’ at 14F last time out and should be able to handle the 16F distance.
