For the first time since last spring, I downloaded and handicapped the cards from Aqu, Kee, GP and SA for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Yup, "We're in Trouble" about sums it up.
There were a handful of interesting races to 'cap, but most fall into two categories - where the winner pays $6.40, or where the winner pays a bit more with a significant "improvement" in performance, not readily obvious from the PPs. That's not to say that some horses coming off some bad trips or rounding into form might not gleaned with intensive study, but there used to be a time when several longer shots could be selected from a card, and a couple of those would run well. Not any longer.
There's still some fun in it, but it's getting tougher.
