This race looks like it could set up beautifully for North East Bound. There doesn't look like much pace in here outside of NEB & TV Sports Director. Since the latter draws outside, NEB has every right to
save ground and set a sensible pace. Perry
takes the BL off which could mean he's
trying to get NEB to relax more but from post 2, he's almost certainly going to be very close to the pace if not on the lead.

Velez is an under-rated rider that almost got
NEB home in the BC2000. HAP always runs well fresh and will be coming late. Pices and Galic Boy look like they could make the tri.
