Looks like BANDINI has a nice pattern going for him. A forward move in the Florida Derby would certainly make him a top contender for the Roses.
He also has something that I always look for with young 3yos. A nice race going 7f while up or near the lead, or middle moving within the race (no plodder wins, please). This should be late in their 2yo or early in their 3yo campaign. Woody Stephens prescribed that solid 7f races translated well to 1 1/4. Hell, who am i to argue or disagree with a legend.
SMARTY JONES, UNBRIDLED, MONARCHOS, SILVER CHARM immediately come to mind. I am not impressed with easy Derby prep wins at 1 1/16 ( see CONSOLIDATOR, HIGH LIMIT) until they are backed up with solid races at 1 1/8.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
