Alrighty guys here goes nothing
Horse by horse analysis followed by top 4 picks below
#7- Raced on turf his entire life and now moves to the dirt track; Form looks ok with itm finishes in G2 or G1 races so they are hoping the same success can come shifting surfaces; Underneath for 3rd and 4th exotics
#2- Winner of the Dubai World Cup last year tries to win the world's richest race for trainer Bob Baffert and will have to work with some quality class horses entered in today; Form has been sharp since the DWC and Dettori stays on from last time out and from Dubai start; Has also been off since Dec 26 Baffert is 29% with those horses coming off 61-180 days of layoff; Dettori can put this horse into a good spot and could upset them all here at hopefully a nice price; Contender
#5- Hasn't been able to regroup after the G1 win in April of last year; Sure he has still be racing at that class level but can seem to get any better heading into here; A switch to Lemaire can help but will be tough to back with the form and only having Turf racing now on Dirt today; Toss
#1- Seems like this horse is showing a pattern with a win then poor start so if that rings true then this start won't be good then? Has been off since October and ships in from Japan but getting a top jockey in Moreira can help this ones chances; In for 3rd and 4th slots
Top 4 picks
This one is tough as there is a lot of talented horses in here and would hate to not back Emblem Road in here but unfortunately I have chosen
Lagertha Rhyme hoping the same vibes are there like last year as this one has sharp efforts and also patterns like what ER showed last year so here is hoping we can do it again this year at a big price! ; I do have
Emblem Road for 2nd as this horse can make a bold move turning for home and would not be surprised if this horse wins again; 3rd choice and 4th choices are
Country Grammer and and
Taiba
Good luck to everyone playing this race going to be a good one!
is going to run well... you can see in the post parade.
