FWIW, having seen the heats this morning, I don't think Coutts can be counted out at all in this one. She looked to be going within herself fairly well and had a bit up her sleeve at the end. While Rice deserves to be favorite, Coutts changed gears a couple of times in the swim in a way that suggested she could be an unexpected threat if she is within distance of Rice at the last 50.
