Couple keys to this sequence as I see it.
1) Will a speed duel set up in the 8th and set up for Starforaday?
2) Finding the winner of the 6th, horrendous yet one of the most challenging races I have ever handicapped

1) Starforaday doesn't need a speed duel to win, he never has, which is what makes him so dangerous as opposed to other one-run closers. Either way, West Coast Flier looks like the clear speed to me. Be Bullish might go as well, but WCF is faster early.
2) It's pretty tough, but Hooligan's Delight actually looks like the closest thing to a single on the card for me. It's a dreadful group, and he actually did a little running last time, tracking a fast pace and appearing beaten at the top of the stretch, getting checked and still running on to be second. The cutback should be up his alley, and the outside post should allow him to track Showme Zealous and perhaps Tudor King.
