In depth

Verdict

American Tattoo ran below par on the Turf course here last time but has won five of nine outings on the main track including at this level. But Todd Pletcher has a strong hand in this and also runs YOU’RE TO BLAME. The latter ended last year with an off-day at Belmont behind the runner-up Realm but earlier placed efforts in tougher Graded races than this suggest he can go very close if back to his best. Realm has subsequently finished behind Bodexpress when the latter claimed third in a Grade 3 contest here while Harvey Wallbanger recorded a decent speed figure when winning an allowance race at the track last month but faces tougher opposition today.
