He is tactical. Has gears and a burst, and looks to have pace to stalk or rally into. He can adjust to any pace scenario and shouldn't get beat.
Shouldn't get beat? I think shouldn't get beat is very over confident even if its just based on the much improved competition he faces this time.

Is it not the accepted opinion that poly and turf play the same? If this is true what was his excuse in the Bluegrass when SV totally blew him away? I did just go back and watch the race, and Kent scrapped pretty hard on him, now he did win off the right way but like Hoss said earlier he faced nothing. Doubles Partner was the co choice, co favorite and he did not fire at all, he looked uncomfortable from the very start. Im def. going to question what he beat, I think Krypton, SV and Todd's horse are all better then anything he beat last time, and Im guessing he goes off at around 6-5, so IMO he is worth totally tossing as far as the win end in the pick 3 and pick 4, beating him in those bets will lead to overlay payouts. Its not like he is a standout the 2 I mentioned, and even Todds IMO are as good as him. He is a bad favorite in this spot, and Im going to put some $ into trying to beat him. Even if I am wrong about him being empty in the lane, I still think 2,3 horses are as good as him and can simply out finish him.
