Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Red Derek could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Codiak might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Cloudside Rock is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Red Derek has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on its last 5 starts.
