Any thoughts?
The field isn't as hopeless as many would claim.
The issue for me will be the tempo of the race. There are only two horses that are happy to run forward and they are Theseo and Maldivian. Maldivian's trainer says he intends to set a hectic pace but they all say anything to upset their rivals. This means it could be a start and stop affair and the rest of the field normally like to tail out the back and fly home on the back of a fast pace up front.
I am going to look for an upset. They all can't be last and get a huge run down the outside. For me Theseo is a typical Waterhouse horse, rock fit after the Epsom win and will probably sit second all the way and then try and hold them off in the straight. He has won up to 2200. It is my go at $14.
