We said2nd of 10, beaten ¾ at 100/30F
MIDNIGHT LIR 5/2
MIDNIGHT LIR at 5/2, Michael Dods and Rhys Elliott, is the one that stands out. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 2.25L off 55 (1lb higher than today) on 3 October, was staying on at the finish last time and is back quickly, ran 4 days ago.
The risk is TIMEBAR, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 1.9 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The one worry is unproven on the ground and long time without a win.
FANCY DANCER rates higher on our figures but has been set aside by hand — Nothing against the horse — the model's own at 10/1, 11lb below its winning mark with 1 win and 4 places from 12 on the surface. Dan named four by hand and is running those four.
The dangers are MISTER MOET at 25/1 (well handicapped) and LIL WADE at 80/1 (went close off this mark).
