I'm not seeing perfect trip winner Twilight Meteor go two in a row after over a year worth of losses and Thorn Song isn't getting that lone E trip he needs to be successful. I'd be more inclined to opt for Passager and Just As Well.

So, Thorn Song is not much because he, apparently, needs everything his own way to win. While I disagree with this, as I've seen the horse actually run some game races, I wonder why Just As Well, who ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WIN unless he catches a race that completely falls apart, is, apparently, held in higher regard.

While it appears that there'll be plenty of action on the front end, I wouldn't count on this race collapsing enough for the pick up the pieces types.
