Street Sense back in the Travers

Kentucky Derby winner,  Street Sense runs again today at Saratoga in the million dollars
 Travers Stakes.
In the absence of Curlin, Any Given Saturday and Rags to Riches,  the past year 2yo champion 
 renew his bid to the 3yo championship against a field very similar to one he beat  in the
 Jim Dandy Stakes.  Including runners-up C P West  and Sightseeing. Probably,
seconds choices today.   
With no clear pace, C P West can benefit if he can get  a calm trip in front.
In addition with the longer distance closer, Sightseeing would sure want a  hotter pace to give him a better shot at Street Sense, but I would not discard some bouncing in  this outting.
Street Sense looks like is in the rise a I think will get a good one at the Travers, specially 
with Calvin Borel's  knack for graded stakes wins at Saratoga.
So if a little wishful thinking I guess thatC P West will get tired and Sightseeing will not have the legs this time.
 In order to get better  price in a exacta with Grasshopper that put on giant effort last time 
and hoping that he does not bounce.
Street Sense to winner's circle again. Of course !
