Horse-by-Horse Analysis

Avana (Post 4)

Trainer: Barbara Heads Jockey: Amadeo Perez

Pedigree: By Vino Rosso, 2019 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner known for stamina and late kick.

Edge: Carries high weight for a reason—dominant in local stakes and owns the field’s top speed figures. The one to beat.

Air Force Counterforce (Post 2)

Trainer: Keith Pedersen Jockey: Antonio Reyes

Pedigree: By Counterforce, a son of Smart Strike with sprinting influence.

Edge: Tactical speed and strong recent form. Could press the pace and pounce late.

Bunny Mo Town (Post 1)

Trainer: Dino Condilenios Jockey: Kimal Santo

Pedigree: By Mo Town, a sire known for producing versatile route runners.

Edge: Rail draw and improving form. May try to steal it on the front end.

Annika’s Song (Post 3)

Trainer: Mark Cloutier Jockey: Richard Balgobin

Pedigree: By Ralis, a Grade 1 winner with limited progeny data.

Edge: Light weight and potential for improvement. Needs pace to collapse.

Baby I’m a Star (Post 5)

Trainer: Dave Milburn Jockey: Learie Seecharan

Pedigree: By Om, a turf miler with stamina influence.

Edge: Longshot with upside. Could hit the board if pace gets hot.
