TOP OF THE GAME is at his best here having recorded six of eight career wins so far at the track. He scored by over five lengths on his last visit in January and looks the one to beat once again. Play Hard To Get and Boy Howdy filled the places behind the selection in January but Camino De Estrella looks a bigger threat. The latter ships in from Turf Paradise having gone close in an allowance race last time and finished ahead of Rockandahardplace at the same track earlier.
