Kwik finished in front of Strong Side and Burtnjoe when runner-up here recently and is also preferred to recent claiming winner Laser Loop. Game Day Decision has every chance on his latest third at Houston but TWO THE PUNCH has been rejuvenated by the switch to Joe Silva’s yard at the end of last year and bids for a hat-trick on the back of landing a double at Turf Paradise. He gets the vote to continue winning ways.
