TAPIT TO RIDE represents Todd Pletcher’s powerful yard. She’s no stable star having placed once in four starts in straight maidens but is dropped into claiming company today and looks the one to beat. Veer is another claiming for the first time and may finish closer while Laska has bits of form at this level and Matcha will be sharper for a recent comeback run.
