It always depends on your opinions of the races in the sequence.

I've seen some p5's at Gulfstream where I doubted I could hit them going six deep the whole way.

I didn't give my opinions here before the races for yesterdays card at Del Mar -- but by reading your analysis I think you handicapped the sequence pretty well.

IMO, deciding how to play the p5 is like taking a survey. Each race has a question. For instance,

Leg #1 is it was 'Two of the seven have almost no chance -- five others are very close. Can I do any actual handicapping and narrow it down if I have to?

Leg #2 is 'none of the experienced horses in here have run near par for this class level. Do I trust all the workout reports and use the two firsters they like -- or do I spread?'

And so on.
