It was worth a shot putting him in. I think a shorter distance would be a good option, and the condition?...not my choice to make.
If he was mine, I'd look for a 7f G3.

Awesome Twist came dead last.
I really bombed on that pick.
I thought the closers would reel them in but they did not.

Oh well.

I don't think that's warranted.
Twisty was in over his head today.
Shorten him up and put him against easier and he'll do ok.

I'll wait for Peter to comment.
10 pnt is entitled to his opinion without a "put down", which you seem to be good at.
Let the experts speak. Your jealousy is too obvious at times.
