I want to second the above post. Tin Man doesn't need to loaf on the lead to win, especially not at his favorite distance of 10f. He was my pick in all of the contests yesterday; lone speed, weight-for-age, best distance, better than ever since return - 11/2 was a gift.
Where are all you Ace people? A hint for the future - form at the distance and current form matter. And I love Phoenix Reach but a race of this sort off of such a long layoff was an absurd place to put him. Nice little listed race at York would have made much more sense.
