Its an interesting year, clearly this years best horses like to mix it up front. I would suspect it will be a quick but not insane pace. A lot of times with the really insane paces it was the cheap speed setting it, not the horses with solid chance of winning.
I highly doubt the best riders or going to compromise their horses when they know they have a chance to win.
That being said it will be quick, there will be a horse who wins the pace battle and has a lead mid stretch and the question is can he hold of the likes of My Boy Jack and Hoffburg (just picked 2 random closers).
