Race 7 · 1 mile turf

Our biggest edge on the card today (+15 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.

Even pace1 of 8 shows early speed, short of contested

Nobody in here is clearly entitled to the lead. Only one has shown genuine early speed, without enough company to rate the race contested.

It tops our own win number, 7.2 points clear of the next one.

How it sets up

Even pace1 of 10 shows early speed, short of contested

No one horse is entitled to the lead. A field this size means traffic is the risk in here, not the pace. Only one has shown genuine early speed, without enough company to rate the race contested.

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, 19.9 points clear of the next one.

How it sets up

Contested6 of 9 want the lead

Go forward4

Pace helps136

Six of the 9 are entitled to the early lead, so the opening quarter over five furlongs on turf in a starter allowance should be contested rather than soft.

The model’s read ▾

It rates second on our own win number, 0.6 points behind the top, and with 6 of them wanting the front the early fractions should be honest.

6 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).

Rank is our power-figure blend, 1 is best. Why reads left to right: whether the pace shape helps (▲) or hurts (▼), the barn (B) and the morning (W). Green is positive, red negative, and BLANK means we have nothing to say, so only rows with signal carry a mark. Model and Fair are ours; Board is the morning line.
