any chance Giacomo can win again seemed to come from nowhere last start to win the Derby and from what I have read there aren't to many in the states giving it much chance again.

Hello Raw Instinct:

Most give Giacomo little chance to win, but will use him in exotics. The contenders supposedly are: (not in order of preference) High Fly, Noble Causeway, Scrappy T, Closing Argument, Afleet Alex and Giacomo. Greeley's Galaxy and Sun King will also be used in exotics by some. Afleet Alex and High Fly are considered the most likely to win. Wish I knew.

Just find it interesting that he won last start and ran on better than anyother horse really and it isn't like the weights have changed have they it would still be set weights I'd imagine haven't checked I would have a hard time tipping against him that is for sure I liked Noble Causeway last time but would really struggle to see how he could improve enough to challenge here maybe I missed something.

Closing Argument did a good job in the Derby for mine. Trapped 4 deep just behind the suicidal early speed, only just got beat in the last stride.
