SA 7 (G3 Palos Verdes, 6f) #5 Shashashakemeup (4-1) was on the Derby trail last winter but he could not route. He turned back and won an allowance sprint at OP last spring, and rallied for the place behind multiple graded winner C Z Rocket after that. He stretched back out and jumped back into stakes races and went off form, and dropped into a $40k claimer and won at CD Oct. 28. Miller claimed him that day and he was last seen controlling the pace and finishing a clear 2nd behind talented Asmussen trainee Silver State Nov. 27. He figures to revert to patient tactics and should get pace to chase. Miller saddled the winner of this race the last four years.
