Then you have horses like They Call Me Giant, Sporty, Raging Wit, and Strong Commitment who all have run races easily good enough to win in the past, but over their past couple of starts have tailed off. Then looking at the race further, the horse I am in interested in is Tenth Wish. Yes, Jonathan Sheppard has had a rough meet so far, but he's certainly a capable trainer, and here's a horse who has to improve a bit, but he's done nothing wrong in his career, has won impressively, is stepping up a bit, but will get the setup here at is a fair price on the Morning Line at 8/1. He doesn't have to improve that much to win this race.
