Solar Flare's first couple of beyer figures seem a touch better than the field's average

Actual odds of this race should be interesting. I think it's too wide open to do anything but a win bet, and can't see accepting Solar Flare at 7-2 or so

I'm probably going with Helsinki, and I know he's been off for a year or more. I'd like feedback on what people think of betting a horse spotted like this after a year layoff. I think I read on Brisnet that these bets are not good, yet at the same time Thorograph is always saying the best time to bet an unsound horse is it's 1st race back(before it gets injured again)
