By This Saturday features three Kentucky Derby prep races and a number of key match-ups that will determine who gets to run for the roses on the first Saturday in May. In the $750K Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, Enticed will see if he can repeat his win in the Gotham Stakes from a month ago, which was his best performance yet as a three-year old. Enticed will have to contend with Old Time Revival and Firenze Fire, who finished 2nd and 4th in the Gotham, and with Vino Rosso, the third-runner up in the Sam F. Davis. Among the other horses, Evaluator may pose a challenge for having won and finished a close 2nd in graded stakes company at the 1 mi. distance. The Handicap Wizard is predicting a fairly substantial advantage in this race by Enticed with a 30% estimated winning percentage at roughly 2/1 odds value. The Gotham Runner-ups are predicted second and third, with Old Time Revival receiving a 21% winning estimate and Firenze Fire a 17% probability.
