Ivegotwhatuneed will be one of two Bob Johnson trainees in the line-up with Myra’s Hiho also representing the shedrow. The former is a 9-year-old son of Givemewhatineed who is owned by his conditioner and Marty Garey and will have Lemoyne Svendsen back at the controls.
The veteran is closing in on the $300,000 earnings plateau with a 1:52 mark that was established three years ago. He was a distant runner-up behind Albion last weekend and is overdue for his first snapshot of the season.
Stanza is a Mark Benvenga color-bearer who is reined and trained by Steve Wiseman and is coming off a fifth-place finish in that swift Albion contest.
The son of Power Of Art has two wins from six starts this year, the most recent coming in a lifetime best 1:53.2 clocking on January 21 under these same conditions. He fits quite nicely in this line-up and figures to make his presence felt in the serious stages.
Rounding out the field are Myra’s Hiho, who will have the services of Scott Cisco from the one-hole; while Jim Wilkinson Jr. is sending out a pair in Ra Ra Steven, to be guided by Rich Wojcio and Whipped Dreams, who has Luke Plano at the helm.
The aforementioned Albion will move back up to the Winners-over Pace on Saturday (March 31), where he will square off against the likes of the very sharp Cycle Power and the hard-knocking mare Haggin Oaks.
