Which detail from the first part of the story can help you make a prediction that Jake will beat Dean in the sled dog race?

Jake’s dogs are strong and healthy because he takes good care of them, so they may be better prepared to race. This detail supports predicting that Jake will beat Dean. Dean’s bragging does not show that he is likely to win, and deeper snow alone does not tell us which racer has the advantage.
