The “other”
Pletcher in the race gets Rosario. Foreign invader last time out made US debut
off nearly a four-month layoff was bothered at the break to concede a
six-length head start to the leaders. Will improve upon that fourth-place
finish in an off-the-turf race, and get back to what he is meant to do today
back on the grass.
Race 6
#4 Nikostratos
Plus exacta box with #7 Excursionniste
#4 Nikostratos is a second-time
starter that goes out for trainer Jonathan Thomas, who excels with a 32%
win percentage with second starters for a big positive ROI. Got bumped and
squeezed back at the break in career debut but then closed for a clear second
in solid effort in tough two-turn turf assignment. Just needs a fair start.
Play in exacta box with #7 Excursionniste, who ran well
in two turf tries to date, including a tough loss three starts ago when snatched
up significantly after the start but did a good job of it to close for second,
gaining tons of ground in deep stretch to get within a half-length at the
finish. Two races ago in most recent turf start he drew post 12, and the only
race since then was a dirt stakes race. Back in a better spot today and should
get into the exacta boxes along with the top pick.
