Not a big Newgrange fan, but he's not a horrible vulnerable favorite here, even if arguably a bit underlayed.
While i'm not betting this one, several closers caught my eye. Interested if any run well
 Un Ojo - strong gallop outs, improved every start. Unlikely winner could get a spot underneath if all goes well. Interesting
 Barber Road - more of a contender, speed figs solid, hot barn another game stretch runner.
 Ethereal Road - Impressive deep close Maiden Win. Everyone likes this one. |
no doubt. baffert owns the race and his horses always improve. it's hard to look past being that he beat them and his horses get better.
i think barber road might have a bigger say if he's up closer. if he's too far back there's always the potential for trouble/problems. the 9 along with the 7 are the only two horses i give a chance to potentially win the race. and if the 9 gets away in the back far away from the lead he likely isn't winning
however, if baffert runs away and hides, wins by 5L or possibly more the 9 should automatically be 2nd/3rd.
you could see a scenario where baffert buries the 1/7/8 and they're toast. this scenario opens up the door for many a non figure to hit the board. runaway winners always bring bombs. if you like those 3 closers i would put them under him in a triple key for coffee money
