Adduce/entry 5-1

Amazing...The play here is that this one can lead them all the way -- but that means shaking clear of Striking Tomisue, which might not be easy.
Striking Tomisue...Zito trainee fired a lifetime-best Beyer winning latest. at 8.5F perhaps the top two picks can avoid a duel and take them all the way around. Perhaps...

Milwaukee Miracle 15-1
