The 10-dash Sunday afternoon program has a 1:00 p.m. post time with the $2,800 featured pace carded as the ninth race.

Do Over Hanover leaves from post 7 in the field of as many with Jason Hughes in the bike for trainer Chris MacKay and owners Don MacNeill of Alberta, Allard Racing of Quebec and Donald MacRae of Vernon Bridge.

Race analyst Les MacIsaac will side with Noudidnt Blue Chip as his top choice.

“Noudidnt Blue Chip made a move getting to the half last week and once he cleared he never looked back,” MacIsaac said. “He seems to be getting better with every start and with this being his fourth he should be just about where he wants to be from a conditioning standpoint. He's got a big shot to double up.”
