I got a headache trying to handicap this race. There are so many horses that seem to have similar ability. Some seem disadvantaged by their post and others may face a fairly rough pace. One thing is fairly certain, you need a decent price to get involved.

In no special order.

Real Dandy might sit a nice trip inside.

Thor's Echo battled back to back tough paces, but may face another one today.

Storm Surge has been battling tougher horses and could sit just off a tough pace (which would be great), but I think he prefers one turned sprints. He doesn't seem to have full punch late in routes.

Southern Africa took turns with Thor's Echo. I think he was best on the day he lost and 2nd best on the day he won. Might get a good pace setup, but the outside post is going to hurt a little.

Awesone Twist benefitted from a fast pace in front of him in his last, but he looks like a high quality horse that might appreciate a route and another fast pace to run at. Outside post could be a problem.

Magna Graduate has been running well against better, but is way outside.

I could say similar things about the others.

It really is one tough race to handicap and make an odds line on!

Need a price for sure!
