Lewis is the all or nothing type. When he actually runs he's competitive with this type. His very best races would put him in contention here, and one of his very best races ever came this past fall on the Poly at Keeneland. He's second back off the layoff and Catalano sports wicked numbers second back (31%). He had an appropriate comeback on the lawn at Gulfstream and it didn't seem particularly taxing but was a good return race after the BC Sprint in which he got beat less than a dozen lengths in what I thought was a good race at the time (and by that I mean that the result validated itself at THAT time of the year with the follow up races. Of course the top three have tailed off, less Friendly Island who acquitted himself nicely). He seems to have two gears -- one being to go for the lead and the other to be content to follow and "pounce." I feel like this race has the possibility to set him up for his stalking gear and that at the price he will be, he deserves a long look in any exotic wager at the very least.
