It looks like UU will pass the race. so that puts P on the lead.
I can\'t imagine them letting P get too far ahead, with IHA next and UR (who seems to do his best running in the clear, on the outside) very close to IHA. I expect D to be much closer than he usually is, no more than 1 or 2l behind those 2. JJ and JR are going to ride this race aggressively, not the way the previous riders have done. It might set up for a slower closer who can kick in late.

..Or they let Paynter get loose on the lead and he doesn\'t look back..Nightmare betting race because you have to account for three possible scenarios..Loose on the lead Paynter going the distance, stalked Paynter not handling the distance and getting run over by the stalkers (IHA and crew) or the stalkers being too close and pushing the pace a little too fast and Street Life and crew rolling down to pick up pieces..
I\'m going to choose the Paynter getting loose and staying on but i\'ll be covering just in case.
