OPX 7TH

If anyone is playing OPX today, could someone please tell me why the 12 is 5/2? I know most horses need a trip over the surface and this one had it on 2/7. I have his fractions as 23.4, 48.1 and 75.1. I see he has to run almost 5 lengths better in E1, E2 and 10 better LP or some combination of the latter.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Disclaimer, looking in somewhat of a hurry before I head to work, so maybe the whole race is slow.

Lightly raced, last race after layoff a throwaway workout at Alw50K, decent 19% trainer, 24% jockey, good class drop if you're looking at 2lr and 3lr. But I'm also not seeing 5/2, maybe 5-1, 6-1. Someone on this board who's a lot smarter than me, once said, we'd be better handicappers if we used the 2nd or 3rd last races and just ignore last race.
Along with your theme, I'm not seeing 20-1 for C C's Baby Girl.

I like your analysis Whosonfirst. Was thinking along those same lines.

Now that the 12 is scratched, I will take a flyer on the 10 if it stays in the 8-1 to 12-1 range.
