This looks one of the more open races on the card and it is complicated by the fact that Isai Gonzalez saddles rail runner Ship Stalker and also SOUTHERNAIRE. Jake Olesiak takes over the reins on last month’s Delta Downs winner, however, so it is safe to assume that the Munnings gelding is the one to be on. A winner at Sam Houston in January, Legendary Larry showed promise in his first his start for new connections at Delta Downs and recent course winner Wild Drive has a pretty good strike-rate and won’t go down without a fight. A case can also be made for Primarily Gold now he has a couple of runs under his belt but Golden Bullet is having a first outing since November.
