I'm always a little nervous about horses going turf-to-synthetic for the first time because it seems to me like they tend to be overbet.
On the other hand, his last two works over the track seem strong, and Dollase's numbers on synthetic are quite good.
I always think it is tough to figure out where these horses that press the pace in long turf races will sit when they move off the turf AND cut way back in distance. I assume he will be well back, and since he hasn't seemed to do well in that scenario in the past, I think I am going to toss him....but he wouldn't shock me.
