Okay the more I look at this race, the less confident I am in War Front. He seems to run his best races off layoffs of at least 2-3 months. While he has had time off (1 month), I am not crazy about how hard hes being worked.
While I definetely think he can win and break this tendency to only run huge numbers off layoffs, his price wont be any better than 3/1 in here.
I am starting to think Attillas Storm will be more than just a pace factor in here. Fresh speed is the best speed. I think this horse clears off and will take a lot of catching. This trainer's numbers off layoffs are pretty good and his price will be in the neighborhood of 6/1. Might be the only real huge value of the field.
While I love War Front, I dont consider 3/1 value on too many horses.
