This year's edition has drawn a typically competitive field of 14, just the kind of race that makes the Betmix Angler online handicapping software so valuable.
We scanned the Angler database for 10-furlong main course stakes at Woodbines since 2012 and found that Average of Last 3 E1 Pace has been a lucrative handicapping factor.
