AQU
First race

Not crazy about this field at all.
The entry looks as if they'll knock each other off based on EP scores.

The 4 has some decent races but can it sprint?

The 5 was MIA from September to January, dropped from 35K to 10K and off a decent second-place finish, is back up a couple levels to a 20K tag today. That last race is hard to gauge with its incredibly high variant.

Conclusion - a likely pass, but may go for the 5 if anything.

I pretty much agree with you on all accounts. It should be #1 or #4.

However, I don't think the entry will knock each other out. They're both early pressers and #1 is the only horse with 7 Quirin speed points.

Race: 1 Win Place Show
1st 2 Isn't That Special 7.20 2.90 2.50
2nd 1 Sweet Bama Breeze 2.30 2.10
3rd 3 Afleet Aya 8.20

Best Sustained Pace wins. That was good yesterday too.

Well, they both tanked anyway. The 5 started backing up as soon as half the race was over.

Well, let's try again.

The second race is for bottom feeders - not my strong suit. I'll try the 6 horse, perhaps tossing in the 3 also. Just action bets though.
