(Slew's Tizzy's top # came on the poly, which I basically consider a completely different surface and treat it the same way I would a figure posted in a turf race).
Forty Gram's last three dirt routes have all been in the low 90s which should be good enough to win here.
With a favorable post position and a pace scenario that should suit his style, I think he is a good play in this race.
Ditto... kind of like Takedown as well.
