Candy Cove was a winner here last month but today’s opposition requires a further step forward. As befitting a son of No Nay Never, Never Have I Ever was showing good early pace at Gulfstream Park at the start of the year and has his sights lowered and Call Me Handsome won at this track in January. SPECTACULAR ROAD was a winner in this grade in February and has the speed to overcome his wide draw and get his head back in front.
