Saturday Woodbine preview

Lane 1 and firm (12.1 GS) for the turf on a partly cloudy, warm day. Showers are in the forecast for later in the afternoon.

Two-time Canadian champion Are You Kidding Me will try to win the G3 Eclipse Stakes for the third time for trainer Roger Attfield. He lost last year's edition of the mile and a sixteenth route after a brutal trip. The main threat should come from the mighty Melmich, who finished second to Are You Kidding Me in the allowance prep for the race, when both were making their first start of the year.

Attfield ran one-two in yesterday's featured allowance, when 7-1 shot Final Copy beat the favored Danish Dynaformer. He's also sending out the inconsistent G3 winner Tiz a Slam in the Eclipse, who would make his presence known if he fires his best shot.

Leading trainer Norm McKnight is an incredible 23 for 42 at the meet. He has several live runners on the card, but his even-money ML favorite Fire Angel Mikaela is scratched from the third.

The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $4K.
