Everyone else in the entire fields last fig was 6 points below par for the class level. So it was a below par type race for the class level on paper.
If you're looking for reasons why those two might have improved -- the winner in the last got a significant jock switch to the best rider here and more importantly -- he's a one dimensional closer and this track today was as friendly to closers as it's been pretty much all season.
The 2nd place finisher simply got a loose lead for the first time all year.
As for making a case for them -- neither one had a case going in. They just ran their best and the others didn't.
