A cloudy day, with a strong south-west wind, and a chance of showers for the extended 11-race card.
Lane 5, firm (11 GS) for the turf.
The featured $100K Steady Growth Stakes goes as the third. Kingsport, one of three making their season debut in the five-horse OS route, should be odds-on under Patrick Husbands. The venerable 7yo has been working right along for trainer Sid Attard.
Cooler Mike could be dangerous as the controlling speed, in his third start after a long layoff. Thor's Rocket placed behind Kingsport thrice last year, the highlight of which was a victory in the Overskate Stakes. Nipigon is a first-time gelding.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $74K.
