Coy Robbins vs. Hammer Time
Rematch for Coy, he rode this bull in Prince Albert at the Clunie-Cooper Memorial for 87 points. The bull should be up and down, both ways. Coy made one of the better rides last night. He's hot, he’s feeling good. Look for him to step up to the plate, 87-88-point ride to set himself up for a good pick in the short round to try and win this event.
Dakota Buttar vs. Desperado
Another rematch, Dakota rode this bull two days ago in Dauphin. He knows this bull. He knows what he feels like. He knows what he's going to do, same thing, this bull should go both ways. Pretty nice bull, not going to get the highest score on this bull, but will set himself up for a good pick in the short round.
Jake Gardner vs. Kraken
Kraken is a big black bull from the Skori firm. Right in the gate to the right. He has some movement to him. Wants you inside, wants you outside. Jake actually rode this bull before, one of the only guys to have ridden this bull, and that’s why he picked him. He knows he can win the round on this bull. Everybody knows what Kraken’s about, a lot of power, a lot of action. This could be a round win for Jake and he's coming for first place, picking the best one in the short round and then will try to win the season.
Rafael Parra vs. Samcro
Rafael picked Samcro, a big black bull from Lazy S Bucking Bulls. He was 86 points on him in Dauphin and look for the same thing here. This bull is a Brazilian style bull, big and long like they like they always have back in Brazil. He doesn't fit with a lot of guys, but looks like he fits with Rafael’s style perfectly. This bull can go on the left too, so that something he's going to have to be aware of, but should be all day around to the right. Once again 85-86 points for Rafael.
Weston Davidson vs. Al Capone
This is a rematch from a couple weeks ago at the Koye Larson Memorial PBR where Weston won the long round on this bull. He is a red muley, who has been around for years and years. An old campaigner that is once again going to fit Weston really well. Could be to the right, could be to the left, but it shouldn’t matter, a little bit of sucked back to him. Weston’s got the confidence, he knows how to ride this bull, look for the same thing here, 85-86 points to try to get himself back for the short round.
