Default Ok, Lava Man on top?
What do you think? Is this a forgone conclusion?

Lava Man is certainly the one to beat, but he's also listed at even money, so there is nothing to get too excited about there. Agree with euro, all/ drift/all

Just like last year, I have a feeling the Lava Man may be running out of gas based on his HGC race. Yes he had a terrible start and gave weight to all the others, but....

Have no idea how to bet this race. Will bet a $1 super just for a little action....Magnum/Drift/Lava/All

That would probably be a losing bet, almost everyone is going to have Giacomo and PD keyed in the 2nd and 3rd spots...If I was going to play this, most of my tickets would have LM keyed on top with a saver using Magnum on top, but I would hope that PD and Gia would not hit the board...

He's run out West before, finished fourth. I do not like GR in this spot, I think his off the pace style will be a problem on that bullring at Delmar...Maybe he gets 4th, but I am not betting this race, so good luck if you are...

i'm not betting it. i think lava man wins it...no value there!

I would say that it's a safe bet now that Lava Man is the real deal.
