I found the scratches (7,10,11) to be troubling. Ruined some potential super plays I had lined out.
In the end I settled on a top 4 of 8,9.3.5 as my top 4. Also had the 6 in fourth with the 5. Played a 3H EXB [8,9,3] which produced an ex payout of 111.50. I had tossed the 1, which was the prime power top choice, in favor of the 5. The 5 looked great into stretch, but, like the 2, faded out of the money late. Anyway, the 1 horse ended my luck. Because it was such a high pressure race I worried the eight might fade just like his numbers said he would. He did. Trouble is I selected the 2 (Sisterson entry) as my race shape hedge win play at 12-1. RESULT:9/3/1/6.
I was disappointed with the overall result, but the nice ex helped me get over it.
