8th: Champagne (G1), 2yo, 1m (P5, G/S, P3, DD)

Chancer McPatrick more than backed up flashy debut rally in hair-raising Hopeful and there’s plenty of speed signed on here to help his off the pace effort. Pletcher on the attack with Tip Top Thomas who exits one of Spa’s top rated baby heats and Uncaged who performed with aplomb in wet debut. Vekoma Rides and Executive Order graduated without early leads and offer value. Dallas Stewart and Valene Farms have a unique Louisiana-bred G1 double opportunity with Smoken Wicked here and in the Futurity at KEE with Dapper Moon..
