This Given Saturday

[Storm Cadet]

Race Projection:

1.Op Steve: NY Bred who jumped 35 performance fig points from maiden to second race. I expect him to regress a little as he has not faced this competition so far in his career. Positive to him as he was closing well on a very speed favoring bias last out. If he pairs that last performance, he'll still be short of a win here.

2. Street Sense: Has shown nice small progressive figures in each of his last four races and has done well on fast, slop, poly and a juiced up Breeders Cup surface last year. Projecting him to run a triple digit performance fig today from off the pace. Does he need a race? Lots of works says he ready to go. No price though.

3. All I Can Get: Ran a triple top last out...should regress back to his level today.

4. AG Saturday-2 nice off the pace wins on poly in his 1st 2 starts, then exploded to a triple digit 4W performance in the KY JC on 5 weeks rest. First out this year JV rides just hard enough to get the win. If he pairs up his JC performance fig, or IMPROVES as Pletcher usually does, he'll win, but at no price.

I don't see anybody else being competitive in this race. Race is a pass and watch from cold and icy Long Island!
