I really like A Little Warm in the Jim Dandy. Because the horses in the Louisiana Derby didn\'t fire on the wet track in the Derby, the LAD gets overlooked . I think it was one of the classiest preps of the spring-it has already produced the Belmont winner. A Little Warm ran a good 2nd then came back at Delaware & ran a 2.5 point new top, something I think was well within his range. Weighted lightly at 115 pounds, a pair or move forward wins this thing. Numbers plus class edge-go to the windows.
Other races on the card look appealing:
2nd: Megaholtz is obvious off his winning 6 when he got DQ\'d
3rd: The reason I mentioned the obvious Megaholtz,is to pair up in the DD with 12-1 ml Unforgettable PJ. Paulino Ortiz is known to toss some bombs at Saratoga and even though he has not shown early speed in his turf routes,his tops are competitive with this bunch. I look for a vastly improved finish for PJ Saturday.
7th: Top It (10-1 ml) stretches out off 2010 June debut, Only 5yo in the field may have maturity edge while only spotting 4 lbs to the 3yos & is even weight with the 4s. Although his top was over a year ago in the mud, I\'m looking for him to move forward towards that top in his 2nd race of the year.
8th: If favorite The Noz pairs his turf sprint # at a route, he crushes this field, only threat could be red hot Chad Brown\'s 1st time starter Atitlan. If Top It performs as expected, I\'m looking at another decent DD pairing a favorite in open race with a double digit priced winner in the other leg.
10th-I love A Little Warm-see above.
11th -Ending the day with Chad Brown\'s British Banker to complete the late DD. I\'ll be checking to see if the 11 or 12 get in off the AEs since they appear to be the main competition.
