Perfect Drift had little chance in a slow paced prep for today's race. He did well to finish second. Not sure if he's ready for a peak effort today (which he will need to win), but his last race was NOT a true indication of where he was form wise on that day. He's closer to ready than it looks.

Dynever's last race also has little to do with reality. Last out he was running against several horses that were at least at good as he is (if not better). The pace and trip gave him little or no chance to make up much ground or achieve his peak figure. He's against weaker today, but faces a similar negative pace scenario. He'll probably be an underlay, but if he loses it won't have anything to do with his lackluster looking race last out. He may not be good enough overcome the probable pace and trip disadvantages against these.

I see nothing else in either of features that isn't common knowledge. If they bet something crazy, I will surprised.
