DOVER, Del. —- Veterans Nova Artist and Feel Like A Fool are the horses to beat in one of Thursday, March 3 double feature races at the harness racing meeting at Dover Downs.

In the other division, Lettucefib A and Rebel Soldier are fresh from wins. First post is 4:30 p.m.

Nova Artist, driven by Allan Davis, the mainstay of the Eddie and Kathy stable in recent seasons takes on Kovach Stable's classy Feel Like A Fool, a $1.1-million winner, with Vic Kirby in the sulky, lead an eight-horse ensemble in the field of male pacers.

Race Me Villa, owned by Kathleen Mofield, John Dickens and KDK Standardbreds, has been racing well in recent starts but must overcome starting from post 8 with Montrell Teague at the controls.

The other contenders are Arty Foster's owned and trained Rockin Rambaran, and Jonathan Roberts, who has a pair of seconds in his last three outings.

All Gold, driven by Ross Wolfenden, has been sharp with two wins and a third last week.

A major switch from an outside post makes Joan Dalphon and Elanor Laws' Don't Ya Know a factor from post 3, while trainer Andrew Stafford and driver Art Stafford Jr. cannot be over-looked leaving from the rail with the sharp Portrait.

Lettucefib A (Jim Morand), owned by Josh Parker, Barry Spedden, Kevin Evans and Nanticoke Racing, came from post 7 last week to score a 1:54 victory, leads the second feature.

Rebel Soldier (Brett Brittingham) has a two-race win streak for owner Steve Warrington.

Trainer Andrew Stafford and driver Art Stafford Jr. can be tough though starting from post 8.

Bill Lutz, LeBlanc and Count De Money stables' Cambassador (Frank Milby) is another fast veteran in the eight-horse field. PT Stable's Summer Camp (Roberts) should be one to watch leaving from the rail with Roddy's Hot Again, owned by driver George Dennis and his wife Tina and Ask W Stable, is alongside.

Recently claimed Disarrei by GRJ Partners (Tony Morgan) and Don Reed and George Wagner's Shellysblockbuster (Vince Copeland) cannot be ignored.
