My 2 are in tonight in early races.
Stanza is in race 3. Drew #7 in 7-horse field. He's been off since Dec 16th, and had a curb freeze-fired on Dec 18th. He will be sitting last off the gate and looking to get brought into the race by a good cover flow. I expect that to happen, and there is a strong north wind today, which will be in the leaders face down the backstretch. I wouldn't expect him to win, but you never know how a race goes. I would be very happy with an ITM finish after the time off.
Yiannoulas Boy is in the 5th, same horses he faced last week when he was 2nd at 9-1. He will also be looking for a cover trip, as he should be able to follow Redstar Popeye, who will come 1st up after breaking in the pocket last week. Yianni could win, but if Shoot The Works get's a real easy 1st half as he usually does, he is tough to catch. I do know that we will be in a better spot at the top of the stretch this week than we were last week, and he closed a ton then. I think he can win for sure, but it all depends on the pace of the race, as usual. :-)
