Come On Santana (Santanna Blue Chip) had a remarkable rookie campaign with six wins in nine starts and he never finished outside the top-three. He closed out the year with a win in the ABSS Super Final for two-year-old boys. Come On Santana kicked off the new year with a big win in the elimination where he paced the mile in 1:55.1. Jamie Grey trains the gelding and Phil Giesbrecht will be in the bike.

COME ON SANTANA REPLAY

One Hot Minute won the rerunning of the first elimination that took place last week. He won wire-to-wire in 1:56 and it was also his first career win. Up until then he only had finished as high as second place on two occasions. The Brandon Campbell-trained pacer seems to have had a glow up over the winter but will have to perform to earn his 5-2 morning line odds. Campbell will be back in the sulky with One Hot Minute on Saturday.
