Pim Special - I kinda thought
Untreated was a little better than
Vindictive. I don't really know for certain, and I could be wrong. Vindictive shorter ml odds and gets Irad, for 'Pletch owners Grandview/Cheyenne/LNJ Foxwoods.
Rosario is no slouch, and they both kinda try to sit a trip and whoever fires (or both) of the two could be competitive.
Maybe Irad will be aggressive from the rail. He's a good enough rider on a talented horse and isn't 'forced' to go, but forward (not
Forewarned) is good in this race on paper.
Capocostello and
First Captain are both attractive prices with similar hopes. both have upsides and talent. Purely on trips and ml price the
is interesting. While the
has a significant class drop and an opportunity to truly 'fire'.
is a pace player and a fair ml price, however I am more interested in a couple other locals to potentially join the pace party - -
Excellorator and
Treasure Trove are potentially pace players. Both have upsides.
Maybe the 4 gets loose, or maybe there is a little bit of a pace-vacuum there. Either 7 or 9 is capable of moving into 2nd and there is a little bit of time to gain early position if you break, which could save you a path into the first turn and just be in a prized forward position in this one.
