Tee Off - Did everything but win last time on the front end; like the turn back in distance to an elongated sprint.

Auntgrace - Slides down the claiming ladder to this very winable spot; last race, if repeated, would crush these.

Rathor - Dead late closer had not excuse in last; gets more distance in today's elongated sprint, can only help.
