Our biggest edge on the card today (+16 pts over the board), the crowd will likely bet it down, so expect a shorter number, so size it smaller. Chosen by rule: the flag with the most value, graded like any other.

How it sets up
Lone speedone gets loose on the lead, 7 going
Alone on the lead6

One of the 7 looks alone on the lead, clear of the field on the early figures over a mile and an eighth on turf, with nothing else in here entitled to go with it.

The model’s read ▾

This is the widest gap on today’s card. When our number is that far clear of the board, the disagreement is the whole reason to be here.

It tops our own win number, 21.8 points clear of the next one, in a race where one of them looks like getting loose on the lead.

In a field of 7 it profiles as the lone speed over a mile and an eighth on turf, likely alone on the lead.

How it sets up
Contested3 of 9 want the lead
Go forward1
Pace helps29

Three of the 9 are entitled to the early lead, so the opening quarter over five furlongs on turf in a $25,000 claimer should be contested rather than soft.

The model’s read ▾

It tops our own win number, 10.3 points clear of the next one, and with 3 of them wanting the front the early fractions should be honest.

3 of the 9 want the front over five furlongs on turf, and this one profiles to come from off it, so we pushed its number up for that (×1.1).

Why reads left to right: rank on our power-figure blend, whether the pace shape helps (▲) or hurts (▼), the barn (B) and the morning (W). Green is positive, red negative, a dot means nothing to say. Model and Fair are ours; Board is the morning line.
