 truely an interesting race - i\'m trying to make a case for the #6 horse , that pattern could produce a several point forward move and the #5 is 02X and ran well on dirt @ 2yo . nct\'s saying it\'s off , so punting on 3rd down might also be a play  ...

It\'s not an \"A\" play and I am taking a shot , but  I\'m seeing a potentially explosive fille pattern - she\'s previously ran 2 big tops , 13 pts and 6 pts  and her X\'s and O\'s are improving , but the Big price really has to be there ...
