God I hate to be backing the same horse as Michael. That hasn't worked out since, What was his name? Declan's Moon!

JK, saw your rundown post my race evaluation. He's definitely running hard now on dirt. He'll need to take to the track but he did beat a horse during his good steak by the name of Three Hour Nap thats not a half bad horse and one Summer Book couldn't handle. Previous races are relative but not getting the vibes that Summer Book can route like this.

As far as the outside horse clearing and winning, agree he is a threat and should probably be included in the exotics. This is not his home track however and he's facing real distance this time. His ability to steal will be dependant upon how easily they let him off. Summer Book, Its No Joke and Papi Chulo are not one run horses and they won't let him get far. He can run, but will he be able to hide? I'm guessing not. Head to head, i'm taking Greg Norman's horse this time.
