THE CHILDE OF HALE 7/2
THE CHILDE OF HALE at 7/2, Ivan Furtado and Tom Eaves, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He won by 2.5 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 5lb in hand, handles the ground, with a win from 4 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The risk is AVATAR JET, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.4 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The dangers are PRECIOUS SPARTAN at 66/1 (well handicapped) and AVATAR JET at 5/1 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Bay Breeze.
