HP,

Don't assume Buddah will be in front; he doesn't need the lead. He was forced to
adapt to the race shape in the Wood.
Day won the race going into the first turn when he was forced to squeeze through a tight spot or take back and sit behind MD. I think
you'll see patient Pat sit 3rd or 4th
(if the pace is too fast) and get the jump on the late runners. I read MD came back coughing after his recent work in KY so
its not clear if he'll be at his best.

Good Luck.

Nunzio
