Misu Pete won over track and trip last time when narrowly beating Lucky Lodge and Veeraya with Kodiac Lady not beaten far in fourth. It's anybody's guess which of that bunch will come out best today so a chance is taken on OAK BLUFFS (NAP). The Fahey charge has been placed in higher grade contests than this the last twice and should be in the mix once again. Pyla also went close in better company at Chelmsford in February but has failed to figure subsequently.
