SPEED MAP
Average tempo expected here.
Just Fine and Lindermann likely set the tempo.
Navajo Peak, Think It Over, Arapaho and Buckaroo can race handy to midfield.
Fangirl, Atishu, Athabascan and Cascadian likely drop out the back.
FINAL FIELD
1. Think It Over – Multiple G1 winner who was solid first up. Always in the mix in these races.
2. Cascadian – Getting older and is past his best, but had no luck first up and can run into the placings. This time last year ran 2nd in the All Star Mile then won the Australian Cup.
4. Buckaroo – Hit the line well late first up after being held up early in straight. Gets to his pet distance of a mile here and can improve sharply again.
5. Just Fine – Won comfortably fresh up last prep and can give cheek first up here.
7. Lindermann – Had zero luck first up when never got a crack at them. Easily could have run 2nd that day with luck. Strong place chance here.
9. Fangirl – Bolted in first up running outstanding sectionals and ratings. Appears to be going to another level each prep. Is clearly the one to beat.
10. Atishu – Mixes form but her best can certainly be competitive here.
KEY RUNNERS
9 – Fangirl
7 – Lindermann
4 – Buckaroo
1 – Think It Over
2 – Cascadian
SUMMARY
Fangirl obviously very hard to beat here.
Lindermann to place looks worthy of consideration.
