No. 5 Ruffy (3-1) set the pace and was clearly second best as the favorite in a similar local extended sprint on April 17. He should make his presence felt from the outset.
No. 8 Bullet Butch (2-1) turns back in distance in his third start after a layoff. He handles this distance and figures to stalk the pace from the outside post.
No. 6 Meet the Elite (6-1) is a sophomore colt exiting a nice local win at six panels. He owns running style versatility.
No. 3 Beachwalker (7-2) hit the board in his last four dirt routes. He turns back in distance and can get a piece of this.
