This guy is among my top figures on pace and speed.
Should be able to sit a comfortable trip just off the pace or make all the running himself.
Clearly prefers one turn races (he has 4 showing and he is 2-2-1 from those 4)....also likes the Belmont surface.
Got off to a bad start and raced wide last time on a day when inside speed was doing well at Sar. There were 5 sprints on Aug 4 and only one runner came from more than five lengths back to crack the tri. There were three wire jobs and another race where the running styles of the top four finishers were P-P-E-E, so speed was good that day, very good.
This guy just missed nailing a wire to wire winner in Bug Juice.

A few concerns:
>> only one work since that race
>> if Go Get The Basil runs his absolute best race, like he did this spring, he may be too good, but I don't think too much of this colt. He can catch me if he can
>> obvious threat in Zivo for Chad Brown - the only guy I think that can beat me here.

ex: 7-4
ex: 4 w 1-3-5-6-7
win: 4

ML odds of 4-1 are more than fair - get the fall meet off to a god start :ThmbUp:
I will take as low as 3-1 for a play
