Lava Man should win, but I would play against him. I'm not sure what kind of form he is in right now, not worth the 3/5 or 4/5 he is going to be. Not going up against any world beaters, though. I'm excited about the race, should be exciting.

Im still
taking Lava Man there will more than likely be a speed duel and it will set up for Lava Man. However Molengao will be a threat b/c he will be coming from way off the pace as well.
I still think this is Lava Man's race to lose.

lava man ran a really fast race last out on the turf. On paper it was one of the fastest non-winning performances. This is his first cushion track race but he has worked on it forever and every indication is that it suits him very well. Horses that have stronger turf form are usually going to be dominant on the hollywood surface at classic distances. Porfido brings in strong turf form. He is another who ran very fast in the Whitingham. Molengao is versatile and comes in off of a visually impressive win.
AP Arrow is very interesting here. His pedigree says that he should love the cushion and he has a nice effort at Keeneland on his resume. Very solid horse. Big Booster has a horse in here as well. |

If you watch the replay..he hit Lava once right handed and then a shoulder tap..then a hand ride the rest of the way. I'm not a big Corey fan..but Bravo!
