Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up

Well for a change at this distance there are several early horses with top speed credentials. Slim Shadey, Turbo Compressor, Optomizer and Little Mike all should insure a lively pace and set it up for Trailblazer who closed 4-3-3 while losing by 0.5 length in 131.8; this projects to 1:57.5, a full 1.50 seconds faster than Slim Shadey's 159 flat mile and a quarter over SA's turf.

I will put Dullahan and St Nicholas Abbey as the next two win candidates and hope that Slim holds for a top three finish.

All the best to all of you and good luck;
