See his assessment below:
Champions Sprint
1 - GIGA KICK: “If it is run on a Good track only two can win - Tentyris and Joliestar - but we’re banking on a wet track and Giga Kick can win for sure.”

9 - FLYING FOR FUN: “No.”
10 - TENTYRIS: “Yes.”
Hunter’s selections: 10-6-1-2-5
“As it stands, the obvious is Tentyris to beat Joliestar. It’s just a watch on the track.”
