Del Mar #3:
When I put this race up, I didn't see much pace pressure. Now that 5 has been scratched, there is less pace pressure. Almost by default, I think the 4 will get the lead which is a place he doesn't want to be. He likes to run 4th at the first call. I'm guessing the 1st call at 22.3 with the half about 45.4.
I think the horses who will run well under this scenario are sustained horses. So, my top 2 horses are the 3 and the 7.
In race like this, the best sustained horses are the routers that show good times at the stretch call in routes. The 3 fits this scenario.
The 3 is my choice to win.
