Despite the graded stakes earnings, looks like a boring race unless you really like one of the 3 favorites, of which there is small value in any of those 3.
Looks like Theregoes keeps his eye on Q Road and Dunkirk keeps his eye on both of them. There may be a real stud in the bunch, but they all have questions unanswered. Since I\'m gonna play the race I may as well take an optimistic look at it.
If Sincero (20/1) avoids trouble, he may hit the board because of the running styles of the big 3. In 6 career outs this horse has managed to find trouble in 5 races. He may be one of those gawkers who likes to look around, so today the hood goes on and we\'ll see if that helps, it won\'t help him run any faster, but it might help him avoid trouble today, and despite the Morning line, looks like he\'ll be closer to 50/1 than 20/1 after the believers of Q Road/Dunkirk/Theregoes put their money down. Moving from a 42K allowance race into a Grade 1 is a helluva jump, but its the same jump Dunkirk\'s gonna try today.
It just seems the big 3 are so superior to the others, except Danger could run well with Dutrow, that a 6 length loss last time to Dunkirk might be enough to separate Sincero from the remainder of the field. At least, that\'s how I\'m playing it.
2456/2456/2456/all If I can get one of the big 3 to miss the board, shouldn\'t be hard for me to get my few bucks back.
In Dubai today, I like Marsh Side in the turf race, the heavier the turf the better for this pony.
Good luck to all
