Race output

Model version: v1.1

Source: Cursor

Single-speed trigger: OFF

Pace scenario: Honest / multiple pace pressure

Class move score: 00

Distance change score: 11

Jockey change: Not flagged - No clear upgrade/downgrade vs last outs; Ortiz/Prat/Velazquez/Alvarado reads largely barn-consistent.

Age maturity: 4yo-up mileage field; profiles are mostly peaked/proven with less 3yo upside swing than a soph-only race.

Trainer signal: Cox/Pletcher/Beckman/Mott blocks are strong placement-wise; low-sample barn flags (Block, Cambray, Wismer) add dispersion more than a sharp signal.

Layoff pattern: No major red flag - >90-day layoff negatives not prominent in the main ex-1,8 mix; several are 2nd-or-3rd-off patterns rather than long-absence question marks, with none advertised as default ‘need one’.

Speed trend: Be You up into the 97–94 window; Tour Player stable-to-up off the 93 win; Capital Idea spiked to a 97-type last; Dragoon Guard softer recently vs peak 95; Moonlight volatile (big CD 99 win mixed with two dull routes); Scotland sliding off 65 last.

Surface switch: Most key players remain on fast dirt; Be You ships from Aqueduct dirt (no surface flip), so today’s CD dirt reads as a straight class/track comfort test more than a turf/syn switch puzzle.

Today's surface speeds: Dragoon Guard/Will Take It/Tour Player/Moonlight/Banjo Chris all have recent CD-route/dirt lines in the ~89–100+ Beyer neighborhood worth citing as local anchors; Be You’s best recent dirt numbers are Aqu-based but translate as top-tier on speed.

Recent competitiveness: Tour Player Capital Idea Be You exit competitive top-3/tight finishes; Moonlight was a strong CD Chrokee winner then regressed in stakes tries; Dragoon Guard still hitting the exacta board but less dominant lately; Banjo Chris has board hits but lighter winning frequency at this level.

Winning form: FLAGGED POSITIVE - Tour Player won last off short rest without a layoff; Be You also exits a sharp recent dirt win progression—both count as positive last-race-winner signals even at mixed class labels.

Speed tier: Likely top 3–4 on most-recent/top relevant dirt: Be You (97/94), Capital Idea (97), Tour Player (93 off the win), Dragoon Guard (~95 peak but recent slightly softer), with Moonlight’s CD 99 still a tier asset if you forgive the last two.

Lower-but-live override: FLAGGED LIVE - Moonlight is >5 pts under the peak tier on the last pair but remains live for a rebound into a pressured mile with elite LP (115) and a proven CD routing win; Will Take It is off an 81 stinker but owns superior CD-route ceiling if pace sets up.

Pace groups: Leader/Speed: Dragoon Guard (+ Banjo Chris / Prince of Power on paper pace). Tracker: Tour Player, Will Take It, Scotland, Be You (tactical). Mid-pack: Capital Idea. Closer: Moonlight (plus Capital Idea late-bias).

Pace pressure: High EP from Dragoon Guard pressures; Banjo/Prince of Power/Tour Player can keep it honest—favors stalkers with LP (Be You, Tour Player) and a late bidder (Moonlight) if it gets rolly.

Lone speed edge: Not flagged

Post/trip risk: Posts not provided; with ~10 runners (>8), assume inside low-EP types risk traffic while outside high-EP types may float wide into the turn unless they secure early position—mid posts often safest tactically.

Outside speed choice: FLAGGED EDGE

Rail speed pressure: FLAGGED RISK

Rail low-EP traffic risk: FLAGGED RISK

No-speed chaos: Not flagged - Speed exists but it’s not cleanly single-defined—default remains forwardly-placed runners with sturdy LP if the duel cooks the pure speed.

EP+LP insight: EP+LP supports Dragoon Guard as pace boss on composite stamina-risk but late weakness (LP 81) versus Be You/Moonlight late numbers; trackers benefit most if pace compresses early.

EP+LP stamina edge: FLAGGED EDGE

EP+LP closer caveat: Moonlight’s very low EP makes EP+LP less lap-lane faithful; lean speed-figure + trip map for his deep-run case.

Maiden starts: Not a maiden heat—start-count maiden rules are largely inapplicable beyond noting Capital Idea once ran in maiden company historically.

Maiden improver: Not flagged

Maiden debut caution: Not flagged

Maiden over-raced caution: Not flagged

Maiden EP/LP ignored: NO

Maiden class drop: N/A (stakes/non-maiden).

Maiden jockey/trainer: N/A (non-maiden stakes context).

Maiden workouts: N/A (non-maiden primary read).

Maiden firster policy: N/A; no first-time starters in the ex-1,8 field.

Maiden firster exception: Not flagged

2yo pedigree proxy: N/A (not a 2yo/firster-heavy maiden).

Maiden step-forward: N/A; evaluation is allowance/stakes speed + route form led.

Keep: 2 Dragoon Guard | 3 Banjo Chris | 4 Be You | 6 Tour Player | 7 Will Take It | 10 Capital Idea | 11 Moonlight

Toss: 5 Prince of Power | 9 Scotland

Keep/toss rationale: Keeps concentrate on the recent top-tier speed cluster plus proven CD stalk/closers; tosses rest on appreciably softer recent figs/class regression (Prince of Power) and clear downward trend/inability to sustain (Scotland) versus this mile stakes level.

Score legend: +2 strong edge, +1 minor edge, 0 neutral/mixed, -1 minor concern, -2 major concern.
