Remember what we're trying to accomplish here... Not so much trying to find 'typical' race angles as much as trying to decipher what kind of horse, style, trip, etc. wins these turf sprints...
It looks like there is plenty of early lick in here... GIRL GLITTER is a 5f specialist that can be on pace in halves run <:45... KIT CAT CATON is one of the cutback candidates that Stan Gold looks to have been racing into shape, stretching out in anticipation of a return to one turn. Can get the half in :44 and change on best... Rebecca Maker's other horse REGAL BIRD, (she has BLOOD DIAMONDS in as well), and WW's MISS SHANGAI both get :45 half miles.
Given these early pace types, it sure seems like STORMY LAKE will get the trip she wants tucking in behind Kit Cat and Glitter early. Blood Diamonds, who may have a tiny class edge if ready off the break, and MYMISSJULIAC also figure to be in draft and pounce mode.
We'll dissect this afterwards too... Want to spend as much time figuring out what happened as we do anticipating the result.
