Plus, the horse who received the worst ride of all time in his last start is also returning in this race.
Sunriver is, at best, the third most interesting horse in this race.

Got squeezed at the gate, traveled in the 4-5 path the whole trip, and was much the best horse that race..In his lone clean start, he vied for the pace..In his other two starts he encountered some trouble leaving the gate. Where is he more comfortable? Is it near the lead or picking tired horses off?
