I agree with you about the outside post, but the 13 is real interesting horse. His recent form looks pretty good, but he is making his first turf start and against a big field. He is out of Unbridled and Siberian Express, so turf should be no problem. And starting from the outside gate, he may actually avoid some early trouble. Nonetheless, think I would feel more confident if Lepoaroux riding instead of Nakatani. I think Nakatani is not as good on turf.
I think the winner of this race will be the who has the cleanest trip, which is gonna be greatly dependent on the jockey. With that being said, I don't like the 6 to come out on top, solely because of Pedroza.
So far, I like the 4, 9, 13, 5 and long shot 7. Just looking at the ML, this race seems pretty wide open.
Who do you guys like??
