Paint is a big boy. It's very possible he could move forward and be a little quicker here- as well as enjoy the distance.

My instincts are saying toss the Posse horse, but he was game at 6.5...

This race probably sets up for The Leopard. He didn't knock my socks off in his debut although he got rave reviews. In his last he lagged a little and had a duel set up for him in front, but was game and much the best. Pletcher will want this guy to finish well.
