On the other hand, his last two works over the track seem strong, and Dollase's numbers on synthetic are quite good. I always think it is tough to figure out where these horses that press the pace in long turf races will sit when they move off the turf AND cut way back in distance. I assume he will be well back, and since he hasn't seemed to do well in that scenario in the past, I think I am going to toss him....but he wouldn't shock me.

 i like how he is coming up to the race, he has been sharp on turf from a mile to 1.5 miles, competitive with horses like Crossing The Line, Becrux, and The Tin Man. he'll be a price because he has only raced on turf. his recent Hol works are sharp too.

This Native Diver race is too hard for me. Ravel, Racketeer, and Bold Chieftan look equally strong to me as the 3 win candidates. Bold Cheiftan looks pretty enticing at 8-1 or whatever he goes off at, but each of them are vulnerable. I don't think Hello Sunday is a winner. If Headley has Arson Squad any sharper he will burst into flames, yet he still doesn't seem to be primed for a win on this surface. Isipingo is a good animal, and will face much more pace than on turf, but isn't the worst alternative. Buzzards Bay probably didn't like the track at GG or Del Mar, or is he going out of form...
