I did a little also, though for me I don't think he is as good as some of these. Speed figures aside, at 15-1 I can certainly see him as a good value stab.

I looked at a few races earlier on and in particular I replayed some of Harlem Rocker's races to refresh my memory. I think if Coa can be patient and resist the temptation to move early on him we will see a big race from Rocker. This horse has one big move and the timing of it will be the key. Coa won't be able to get away with the premature move he made in the Wales if Rocker is to win a race of this level. That race should set him up well for the Travers.
