If the track plays like Friday, Giacomo would deserve consideration.
The outside post has to cost him ground unless he finds a way to tuck in. Saving ground is going to be far more important this time. That wasn't a Derby winning ride last time and if given again it won't be a Preakness winning ride this time. Essentially, he's got Derby impediments without Derby bias. Clearly a beneficiary of Bounce last, but give him full credit for a 0.2 and he's a bounce candidate himself this time. Call him closer to a 2.2 and he may not bounce but theres quite of few horses poised to run faster than that:
Alex
Greeleys
High Fly
High Limit
Scrappy T
Noble Causeway
Bounce, Pace and Bias got Giacomo home last and even then he barely got home. He's gonna have to be 12-1 for a second look.
NFW
p.s. Hoss, whats your friend say. Does he have any stellar insight this time or is he sticking with Giacomo.
