Default Lava Man - A Concern?

Looking at this race, one thing stands out to me, actually more then one thing. I appreciate your thoughts as I am going to have to make my plays around 1 or 2 pm tomorrow as I have to work tomorrow afternoon / evening. Thank God for DVD Recorders

Only going on the PP's avaliable in todays DRF which go back to the 2005 Pacific Classic

Both Turf wins were when Lava was either 1st or 2nd from gate to wire, never more then 2 lengths back from the leader

Second, all the works are on the Hollywood Poly.

I realize that the Poly to Turf angle has been successful and seems to work. However, I am thinking to myself, this horse just wants the lead and nothing else, dirt or turf. What happens when some of these other animals get out first and Lava has to fight traffic and come from more then 2 or 3 lengths?

Names come to mind as an upset special,
Railroad
