Pace Line Practice Pick

Hi
Here is a example of something I see once in a while
If line 1 is good but lines below are good
Here is when Line 3 is good.

This horse is runnung in Race 6 today at Lurael

I used line 3

Here are my thoughts about using line 3
I have read about layoff lines Not to use the last race before or after
a long layoff

I think line 3 is ok here

Line 3 is a win
In 5 of 7 races before the layoff Winning Drive had 5 plus races
Did the trainer give the horse a nice vacation after earning so well for
a while

In the return race it ran at 5.5 at PID on poly soft surface easy work out ?

In last race Winning Drive won at 5.5 furlongs

I think line 3 is better for todays 6.0 distance

My mentor suggest not using 5.5 lines in longer races because the
turn time on a 5.5 race is the only true turn time when the horses
run the fraction on the turn

Thanks looking forward to comments and ideas


Bill
