1 is the logical second choice but the last race was a clunker and the works leading up have not been solid. Perhaps a minor physical problem?

5 to me is just over his head. Has been working and racing well this year after being a mid level claimer.

That leaves me with the only viable option being the 4. His figs are below the other 3 but i think the distance wont hurt him. He's third off the bench wheeled back on short rest, which probably tells me he is as fit as hes going to be. If I can get a price, I'll take a shot, if not I'll pass. Does anyone else have any opinions?

A screwy race. You knew the 3 wouldn't last but I thought the 1 would be in the 5's spot. Just didn't see that 5 horse. I had the 1 and 7 with 4 deep in the next, hopefully I don't win the next race
