Race Overview
GANASS (2) is the tentative selection in this open handicap. He likes the PSF and is well drawn in stall 2 to get a nice position in the early part of the race. FOREVER GIVEN (5) has yet to win but he has several placed efforts and looks ready to get his head in front. GANT (8) looks like a good option for the each-way backers to take seriously. GOWAY (4) is also worth considering and can make the top four.
Selection:
2 - 5 - 8
