10 career starts  

5 of them were sprints where he is undefeated.

Lets examine his 5 route races:

2nd to Proud Accolade in the Champagne

2nd to Wilko in the BC Juv

Last in the Rebel with an excuse.

Solid runaway win in the Ark chasing a soft pace.

Excuseless 3rd in the Derby-passed by a 50-1 plodder and can\'t run down a 71-1 shot that was chasing a hot pace.

You want him as the 2-1 favorite on Saturday?

Saddlecloth: my point exactly....IMO Giacomo is a great bet compared to Afleet Alex.....oh wait, let me guess.  Its the tight turns that will help him out (which aint any tighter)

spa: Fellas, the race will be over when \"Gia\" begins his run.....If you hate your money, bet against Alex.....

big18741: I\'m not betting either of them.

spa: Then, you\'re not betting to win? We can make money. Let\'s just fill in the 2/3/4 positions. Alex wins this race by 5......

marcus:  Afleet Alex\'s very unhealthy looking pattern is aprx less even money to bounce again +  4-1 for being distanced due to a breaking down to a degree or completely during the running of the race . Closing Argument if goes might not be through , Wilko may be a true late developer and has numbers which suggest soundness - might also have another move now . I\'m wondering whether King T has some trick up his sleeve...
