He broke in the air in his second start and finished a good 2nd. He then was able to hold on for the maiden breaker in his last, through okay fractions against better. Hopefully, he can hold off Baletti and Valtrus, two other contenders IMO. Not sure what to think of D Treasure.
Having pointed him out, he'll probably scratch, just like every other horse that I look forward to betting does.

Well, I think he has a bit of a chance, but even though he blew the break two back he was more than compensated by getting a major pace set up. In his last, the pace was slow for the Mellon turf that day and I don't think he beat the strongest of fields.
The good news tomorrow is that he won't be part of the pace and he may have some upside. He will need it.....at least tomorrow.
On your scratch addition.....not unless something happens. I'm friendly with his owner and spoke to him yesterday about the race. They have every intention of running.
