Starter Analysis
Third entrant from the barn of Dale Romans finished third behind Silver Max in the Virginia Derby when beaten one and a half lengths in his latest after being steadied on the first turn and was fourth behind the same stablemate when closing to be fourth in the American Turf at Churchill three starts back after an even tougher trip. Being by Powerscourt, who finished first in the Arlington Million before being disqualified in 2004 but who returned to win that event twelve months later without incident, and out of a stakes placed mare by Silver Ghost one can expect improvement with maturity from this colt. Three-year-old may be mounting a late charge with Jose Lezcano in the saddle.
Finnegans Wake 6-1
