While I understand what you are saying and why you think it, why exactly is Machen a very fast sprinter? Because his debut in a sprint was okay? I just don't think he's a route horse.
Same thing for Elite Alex. Yeah, he showed speed in his debut 10 months ago, but he wasn't on the shelf for 6 months after that for nothing and I think whatever early speed he once had is no more. I still don't see the hype with this one and he's yet to crack a 90 Beyer and it's almost April.
I didn't like Nehro at all yesterday, so this isn't a redboard, but I do think it's possible he's improving. I think this is a very in and out group with the exception of a few and Uncle Mo keeps looking better and better. I think we're going to keep seeing fields like this taking turns beating each other.
