He actually set a pretty solid pace. There is no run up at Meydan so the fractions look slower than we are used to seeing. But the UAE Derby was above average pace wise. I also don't think he is a need the lead as he proved winning the Juvy Turf. If you can rate on turf, generally you can rate on dirt where the pace is faster.
