AP #9:

The tandem race looks very fast. The 3 ran the best but has no other race in the form which is even close. 3 is out. My contenders are the 4, 6, and 7.

4: S type with no power move. I think this race will run E/P.
6: E/P handling a 23.1 (tenths). To slow. Out.
7: Consistent sort with lots of 2nd and 3rd position runs. Can handle 22.1 on dirt.

The 7 is my pick but I would pass this race if not in the public forum.

WO #6:

You're right. This is a paceless race.

I'll put the 7 on the lead in 24.8 49.2 1:13.5 1:44.5

2: Coming out of sprints and may get tangled up on the lead. Mostly, the 2 runs from way back. Out.

4: Has been closer in last two sprints. May be a factor but I can't get away from all those late lines last year. Out.

6: S type coming from 5th position against a 24.3. Contender.

7: E and no fight. Out.

8: S type showed a little bit in last. Deeper in PP's shows win from 4th position once and fifth position twice with a power move.

I'm on the 8.

See you tomorrow. Good luck.
