LOU'S SWEETREVENGE (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. POP IT (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: RYDINGTOTHEWIRE (6)

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Dont Drop The Ball at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW10500L5 on April 11 at $37.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Gingras Beach at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on April 17 at $1.64. Chief contender.
