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.

I like Showme Zealous as a price play. His maiden race was good relative to these and it looks like he is bred for the lawn. Trainer has positive lawn stats.

It's not noted on the overnight or DRF, but Crescent Moon Dr (7th) will have blinkers ON....hopefully psychosis off. For what its worth.

When they drew for this, did they know about the carryover?

7th) Is the Jerkins' More than Ready horse Ready for Ryan better than he looked in his debut? and what do you make about the Linda Rice 1st timer with Ramon aboard?

9th) Any change Treat Her Right doesn't stop for the first time in ages, and actually takes them wire to wire? Not much speed in this group.
