2017 Travers Stakes Betting Tips PT 4

Irap is another fascinating contender who has put together some really good performances this year and you can expect another solid effort this time out at Saratoga. There is a lot to like about his ability and his performance in the Kentucky Derby was certainly a major disappointment but he was able to follow it up with a triumph in the Ohio Derby and then the Indiana Derby. While both of those races are not Grade 1 quality, he has certainly shown his ability to handle talented horses and still win well.

The big question is whether he can handle the Triple Crown winners or some of the fresher West Coast imports coming in for the Travers.

Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming will be contesting the Travers and you’ll find him available at a lengthy price hovering around a 12/1 margin - something rather uncommon for a Kentucky Derby winner. If he can channel his old successes then you can see him being a great each-way selection for the punters again this time out.

Belmont Stakes winner Tapwrit is getting plenty of confidence here too and he’s priced at a very solid listing anywhere between 9/1 and 14/1. He is likely one who wants more ground but with the right type of ride he will be right in the mix.

And finally we have Preakness winner Cloud Computing who can be backed at a 14/1 margin with several top bookmakers. He has shown the ability to chase down some of the best horses out there and he could be right in the mix here again at Saratoga.
