2yo Champion Game Winner set for best after solid Plan B photo loss to Omaha Beach in Rebel. Nolo Contesto surprised by Roadster in March, but can turn tables on him today with move to heavy handed Talamo from finesse stylings of Rosario. Based on morning efforts, (and Dan Ward notations on ATR), Instagrand appears to have moved forward out of Gotham. Question to answer is how effective is he going to be going 2 turns? Roadster came back with sharp 3yo debut and is dangerous ‘other Baffert’..
