Yankee Sun, owned by the BM Stable of Grand-Digue, NB, got back to his winning form last week at the CDP when driver Kenny Arsenault sent the eight-year-old gelding to the front from Post 4 and went on to win by two lengths in 1:59.
The top class also includes BJ Cruiser, who has hit the board in five of his last six, Porthill Alf, who makes his 34th start of the season, stakes performer Stars Xample, Olivia Hall, who is more than capable of handling the boys at this level, and Lakota Hall who is making his second start after qualifying on November 14.
