In the Flat Out Stakes race 9, it would be easy to pick Belmont Stakes winner Sir Winston and the 2^nd choice Adventist, who’s coming off a win in the Bernardini Stakes just half a furlong shorter in Feb.  But the horse who was 2^nd in that is also the only speed in a race devoid of speed.  Bluegrascat’s Smile is a great value at 15-1 and may have the lead to himself most of the way. 

.

Expert 10-1 has not been an EP runner recently but he does have the 2^nd highest EP figure in the Grid, so that makes him dangerous, despite coming off a poor outing at a mile last out.  Moretti is the only other semblance of an early runner at 8-1 and has top EP in the field so he’s a good long shot also.  Obviously not all of these will fill out the super and at least one won’t fire, that’s how it goes.

.

After that I look for Sir Winston, Adventist, and Rocketry, 3 great late runners to compete for pieces of the superfecta.  One thing is for sure, if they dawdle around up front, they won’t be lollygagging 10 lengths back and one of these may in fact press the pace.  So it’s a good idea to box or mix and match these 6 that I mentioned for some good payouts.
