TGJB:
With regards to Reverberate, the analysis states that he "... ran a good one, bounced with trouble in the Belmont, and then returned to his best last time. There's nothing wrong with this pattern."
Is it possible to take an alternative view, that after the disastrous start in the Belmont Santos didn't ask anything from Reverberate? Can you disregard the Belmont for the sake of pattern analysis? Is it realistic to say that he has run two new tops, pairing the new top in his last race?
Reverberate's breeding is very solid for this race; his dad won the Travers and the Derby, and his dam sire won the BC Classic, all at 10f.
Not a big field, but an interesting Travers. Only AH (too slow, too far back) and DGM (will be looking for the Twin Spires when he turns for home, won't see them) are not possible winners IMO.
