Can't argue much with JBs analysis, but I do have a couple differnet points to add. Here's how the race shapes up to me:
Not Good Enough
--------------
Menacing Dennis
Equality
EasyFromGitGo
Magic Weisner
Booklet
Big Bounce
--------------
Table Limit
Proud Citizen
Little Bounce
--------------
War Emblem
Medaglia Doro
Harlans Holiday
Pair/Forward with a shot to win
--------------------
USS Tinosa
Straight Gin
Crimson Hero
War Emblem can obviously bounce a little and still win. The pace scneario sets up well for USST, SGin, and CHero. CHero is a bit of a stretch, but I like the overall line and the breeding.
I saw SGin break his maiden over a GP track with a lot of moisture in it. PIM will probably be somewhat moist on Sat as well. He earned a 113 late pace rating that day, just the kind of effort needed here. Throw out the last 2, they were over hard, fast, speed-favoring tracks.
My pick is to bet SGin straight out W/P and box USST, WarEmblem, and SGin for exacta. Put these 3 over CHero, Oro, and Holiday for the tri.
Hope it doesn't come up sloppy and hope they can still race on the turf. Good luck to all.....
