If Commentator breaks well it could be similar to Artax's effort in the '99 Sprint. The break was the only concern with Artax as well. At nice odds, he's definitely worth a play and inclusion in all multi race wagers.
U say that the break was the only concern with Artex as well. That's not the concern for Commentator, as far as I'm concerned. He can break better than anyone but the question is whether or not he has the necessary speed once he breaks. I'm guessing he doesn't.

That's why they run the races, we'll find out.

Commentator is a need-the-lead horse who has absolutely no chance of having the lead at the first call due to Bordonaro and Attila's Storm. Toss.

KG he's got as good of pace numbers as Atilla's or Henny. Bordanaro, I don't know, he's likely the speed of the speed. So if it broke "exactly" the way i expect can he sit comfortably 2nd? big if.

PS i owe you that thing still. all boxed up, just gotta get to the post office.
