Handlers will want to be running on a line from the landing of 10 toward jump 13 so dogs will be thinking of turning left toward their handlers as they come out of the tunnel. So giving a back side verbal early and often there will be critical.

Running the other side of the AF and getting a threadle slice on 12 would take some handler speed…
