My point is why take him out of his game, this is not to bash on the horse, but why not let him run the way he has been. He's run 2nd and 4th in 2 Grade 1's running this way, why make him do something that might compromise his finish. The race looks to very soft on the pace, but it's a strange race and who knows, maybe it gets hot up front and he would have a chance. I don't like the pick against a horse posts either, but this post is about taking a horse out of it's game.
My pick is High Finance, he's won over the track ran into 2 monsters and he might be the likely speed, if he's left alone long enough, I believe he gets it done. I'll also use Blue Grass Cat and Deputy Glitters in P3's and P4's.
