Ravel, How good is he ?

[POINTGIVEN1985]

I am looking through his pp's and watching replays of his races and im wondering is this guy as good as everyone says ? I have him in my derby top 5 and it seems like everyone else does to, but is that all based on potential ? He has only raced 3 times, when he broke his maiden he was definitly impressive, but he beat no one at all, not one horse has come out of his maiden race to do anything. Then he wins the Sham, he gets a perfect trip, as good a trip as you can get and he wins, but he just barley beats liquidity, who came back and did nothing at fair grounds, actually you can say be ran terrible. The only horse to come out of the Sham and run big was Song of Navarone, who won The Winstar Derby, which lets be honest is not the hardest of spots, and the morning line favorite was scratched. Dont get me wrong i like Ravel and i love the pedigree, but im thinking that the Sham could turn out to be a negative key race, and he could turn out to be a beaten favorite in The Santa Anita Derby, does anyone agree ?
