Stalking type who should be in a good position sitting on the rail. She got caught in a speed duel last time and held tough for 3rd. I think she has an easier time of it tonight and her works definitely fit with these. Must be considered a player tonight.

She wants a longer race than she gets tonight. Add to that the fact she has only won 1 race in 22 starts makes me leary to back her. She will be closing but I cannot recommend.

Another router who will not be seen early in this race. She will be closing in the stretch but the race may be over before she kicks it in gear, must pass.

Stalking type who will contest the early lead tonight. His workouts place him right in the thick of it tonight if he runs to his works. Not sure he is fast enough to grab a clear lead and that might cause a problem for him. Rates a chance at a minor award.

Only 1 race in her career and that was the first round of this season's Eliminator where she went to the front from gate #1 and faded in the stretch to 4th. Her works are just a little slower than others in this race but she should be on or near the lead early just not sure she has enough stamina to hold on till the wire.

He is 2 for 2 lifetime and I expect he will be gunning for the lead tonight, if he claers the field he might be tough to catch but if not he might get caught out wide which will not help his chances. Must be considered a major player tonight.

He was a gutsy winner last out in the first round of the Eliminator from gate #3. He draws out wide tonight and I am not sure he will have a running lane in the stretch so I must pass.
