The #7 just hasn't been the same since its fall , seems to only win when it jumps in front, seems to hesitate with close racing,
#1 generally races pretty well on the rails but will push off the track somewhat,
#8 is racing keenly would be very hard to run down, if it leads.
Looks like the 1,7,8 would own the early speed, then comes the #3 who has had a few spells, best LTD 2nd sectional still doesn't get near the first 3 dogs.
#2 pushes off the track but is race fit hard, 2nd sectionals are right up with the best, just needs to stick early
