Couple of dogs poorly drawn here the #5 likes to go wide at the start, whilst the 2 dogs drawn outside of it will head to the rails. This will give the #8 a nice clean run early and it likes to race wide and centre of track but it doesn't have much at the finish.
#7 has the best overall 2nd sectionals but has run consistently slower when drawn wide.
#4 is the best dog, but is so hit and miss, you need decent odds to make this dog profitable.
#2 is fit and will run on all day.
To me #8 may be the value dog to play right thru the exotics, with the 7, 2 .
The other dogs 4,5 you just need decent odds.

Big variance in the #7 recent runs sees it not challenging the lead the early
#8 wants the rails and has generally been a lot slower early over the 500.
#6,#5 will head to the rails, where as the #1 and #3 go wide, this is the only concern with the #2 who wants the rails and has run some great 2nd sectionals, sees it start pretty short tonight, #2 to beat #3
