Mauralakana is going to be tough and I'll have a hard time leaving Visit or Halfway To Heaven off any multi race ticket I play. What about Vacare underneath at a price?

I've given up on Vacare. I had high hopes for her after her three-year-old season, but she's done nothing but disappoint me since.

Now maybe Mauralakana does not like a softer turf course but I have a contrarian view on the soft trip angle.

It's not really debatable that Mauralakana had a significantly worse trip than Dynaforce in the Flower Bowl. Why wouldn't Dynaforce have "accelerated away" from Mauralakana? Soft course or no, that was Dynaforce's best chance to beat Mauralakana, and she took advantage. Good for her, but I don't see a remotely similar setup materializing in this race.

I watched the replay of The Mauralakana/Dynaforce 1st match up and she really ran a good race coming off a layoff and 1st time in NA. That race if anything will force me to take her today just because I believe she will be the forgotten horse or the one that seems to have the footing/trip questions of the contenders. I'll try her(Dynaforce) with some confidence today, I think she fits in here.
