Prx 2nd

I see this as a relatively paceless race. The 3 and 5 are the only horses who have ever been on the lead in a sprint at the 1C or 2C. The 5 did it against a 23.1 46.4 at Pen. The 3 has fought against much faster paces multiple times and will have every chance to dominate this race and go wire to wire. It does not need the lead to win either. I’ll take the 3 to win.

Prx 8th

6 of the 8 horses are E’s! Some have shown the ability to fight a little bit or win from a close 2nd or 3rd position but that’s hard for me to see happening today. These guys really like to open and fly if they can. Several have the ability to go 46.2 to 46.4 for the half if they have to. I have to believe there will be a meltdown here. Of the 2 OTE’s I like the 7. It shows it can handle the faster pace and run on in sprints from 9th and 5th position. It has also won routing. I’ll take the 7.
