listening to Payson Dave is better than listening to the trainers IMO.
sometimes you can get a good tip on firsters though.
But I agree with jms. If I'm going to put $ on a firster, I want to see a bullet in the final work or two, and I prefer to see it at 5 furlongs, not 3 furlongs.
But I'm not much of a handicapper at all, I could be way off base.
But Payson Dave and that workout (and sometimes breeding and trainer 1st time stats) are all I'll bet firsters off of.
Usually, maiden races like this are just best to enjoy without a wager though... IMO
