I would feel better doing this closer to the race, but I don't like Request for Parole off the break. It's a lot to ask a horse to come off this kind of break to run well at a longer distance than he's ever run. And he'll have to run his best to take these. I can see him on a ticket, but not on top.
Ditto Johannesburg. The other shippers are a headache.
Harlan's Holiday probably will look good, but not so much better as to justify the short price. If I learned anything last year, it's that if you're going to take a short price, he should look MUCH better than the others, and I don't think that will be the case here. Another who looks more like a saver than a main course.
I just don't know who I like on top yet. HP
