2) His pattern is forward with a possibility that he may not have reached his peak this racing cycle if he gets a favorable trip. It is possible that if there really is a "speed bias" to the turf course as it becomes drier and harder as some DT's have suggested that he may try and steal it even at 11F knowing that others in the race are better closers and his best chance is to press or wire it.
3) His last race against Lavadude was perhaps his best albeit in a losing effort and thankfully this isn't California Toto where Lavaman dominates but a track that Go Between is comfortable at and has a modest history of evolving success.
4) As the sage in numerous posts above says this isn't the greatest stakes race period and thus may be devoid of early or earlier speed so having the ability to potentially exploit a racing angle or approach may spell success for #4.
I'm keying the 4 over 2/6/8....and hoping for the best.

I can't see why Ramazutti won't be on the lead in this one. His rating in last race was due to a need the lead horse who grabbed the lead. I'd be shocked if R isnot on the lead in here. I still think Einstein will be tough in here, last years race was devoid of speed, so he went to the lead, this years race I'd expect him to rate. Should be a good race, I'm going down today to see it, although I abhor Saturdays at Gulfstream.
