Scats biggest positive in my opinion is the chance for rain. He is one of only a handful with proven off track form. You have to give him credit for winning his two final preps thats something others have not done.

To me the most interesting head to head is Scat and Nobiz. It will be very entertaining to see which has progressed to be superior over the other today. I'm thinking Nobiz sees less traffic and that Scat saves a little more energy early. It will be interesting. That said, I'm not sure that head to head winner will affect the exotics.
