I don't think he's going to see the rail in this one.

One advantage SNS has with that post is natural speed. Its not like he will have to be pushed out of his normal comfort zone in order to make his way to the leading group and possibly be only 2-3 wide on the first turn.

I would just recommend that he not be pushed too much out of the gate and perhaps be allowed to move from off the pace a bit on the backstretch if necessary.

So much will depend on how the rest of the field breaks. I really like this horse but the post is troublesome and I don't think he is so much clearly superior to the rest of the field that he can still win given a fast and wide run on the first turn.
