Napoleon Solo could not reproduce his impressive Aqueduct win when he had more pressure up front at Gulfstream, but he could bounce back. Litmus Test should get a good lead from him and is a lot better than his third in the Rebel, in which Silent Tactic was 5l ahead in second. Silent Tactic (second preference) did not find a lot there after seeing too much daylight but is interesting from an inside draw. Steve Asmussen has been looking for a high-class three-year-old to step forward, and perhaps Taptastic is that horse. However, the vote goes to RENEGADE who has gears and is thriving and must surely go well. [James Willoughby]
