I agree. I started with this race because Steve has it as a contest but depending on the other races I might add the 4.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on the 9th. I could be 6 deep and not confident I will get through.

I am gonna roll the dice and single Graham in the last. I could live with being alive to just the 6 if I get there. Need to use plenty in the other legs. IMO.

He isn't a bad single at all. I personally think the horse will love 12 panels. My concern is that Mena chose the 1 instead of him. Aime is very sharp and the barn is cool with both jocks so it isn't that big of a deal but Mena's agent is very good.

Here are my thoughts:

8) 1,3,4,6,7,8,10 - nothing real strong here think you gotta spread

9) 2,3,8 - hoping 2 can settle behind speed and make a run...steadily improving... 8 gets back to dirt should fall into good trip

10) 3,9,10,12,14 - small lean to 3 he's got a lot of grass in pedigree...should get a great trip with main threats far outside

11) 3,11 - think 11 cutting back and already facing winners gives edge but 3 is main threat

12 6 - no strong opinion here think 6 goes fave but 1 and 4 get looks

Neither are impossible. The 1 in the 9th will prolly go the front..my knock is his front running win at CD he got an easy pace and he had an easy pace 2 back at shorter and couldn't hold...that being said there isn't a ton of speed here with scratch of 4..like him more if race is 5.5F

The 7 in 11th beat 5 horses home gate to wire and don't know if they were anything. Could be he caught really weak field. He's a ? for me.

I think I'm spreading wide early, and ending with the 3 in the 11th and the 1,6 in the last. Still working on how much to spend.

The 7 looks LIVE in the 11th.
