Competitive race

I narrowed my final contenders to 4:

Max Player
Art Collector
Medina Spirit
Essential Quality

The expected pace will be swift and strong; Knicks Go will surely go the front for his stablemate Essential Quality. Big question is what other horses will vie for the early pace without expending too much early energy.

Max Player will race the "classic distance" for the third time in a row; very similar pattern as the winning formula for Vino Rosso in Breeders Cup 2019.

Art Collector is fresh and improving horse; with this race as the main objective. This one has some strong sustained energy in its past performances. Can this one put it all together today without getting burned on the early pace today?

Essential Quality is fresh off a two month break by design. Will it be ready enough in its last race of his short career before heading off for Stud Duties. Will be an influential stallion in the future.

Medina Spirit will have to make a decision to send to the front or take back and make one late run.

Great race!!!!

(IMHO) I will go with Max Player and Art Collector.
