GPX 2009-02-21 race 9 Mac Diarmida 11F turf
This looks to be a interesting contest from a pace perspective. Rail at zero feet should make it a contested race right out of the gate.
I see the rail horse, Finallymadeit, asserting it's positional advantage right away. Quasicobra and Baltimore Bob should also be looking for early pace positioning while Presious Passion looks to be speed breaking from an outside post and looking to try to save some early ground by trying to get out and drop down into the fray with the aforementioned runners.
I expect the jocks to be biding their time for most of the race. I don't expect to see making any moves until the horses have left the back stretch and are into the 3rd turn when the real running will start.
As they fan out on the turn trying to get position for a run to the wire, I expect Rene Douglas on Always First and KDES on Mr. Sidney to be looking for some luck if not a hole to guide their charge's through. If Quasicobra is in condition I expect him to be the leader at the top of the stretch followed by Spice Route in a dash to the wire. I'll give a node to Spice Route.
