I am not too sharp on the tandem concept. But I think the tandem
concept applies if two or more horses come out of the same race
But here the 3 seems like a non contender in the tandem method being 4th and so many lengths back.

Actually nothing about the 3 is encouraging. except its readouts.
Its line 1 is a shaky at best (+) pace line That is only because it beat half the field.
I am not totally sure why exactly the instructions for phase 1 are to ALWAYS
rate the last line first for all the horses. But line 1 for horse 3 puts it right up there in the the readouts with horse 7
At 15/1 I hope the 3 wins and is one of the few times a horse wins with a shaky pace line .

The 7 sure has been busy with 4 races in 35 days
