this is a pretty handy horse in the early stages, with a nice cruising speed. if he breaks well, the 2 hole might lead to a good inside trip, maybe 5 to 8 lengths off the top group. plenty of dirt on the bottom of the pedigree, tons of stamina as well. slow going in, but lasix should help. not that concerned about past Dubai flops as none of them fit like this guy. if TS changes leads properly, and doesn't take too much mud, I think there's a chance for a big new top.
and Hence reminds me a lot of Commanding Curve - a long strider with strong distance genes and a forward looking pattern. odds are lower, but Hence has more tactical speed, a better jock, and a much better trainer. a bunch of mud in the face is a big risk.
key Thunder Snow. use Hence.
