DING DONG DITCH (5) is a logical contender in Gulfstream's seventh, and he's currently the 9/5 favorite. While the price isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, this five-year-old does appear to be one of the likelier winners of this heat for Pletcher/Ortiz. A maiden winner most recently, Ding Dong Ditch was making his first start on firm turf for Todd Pletcher, and it's entirely possible that that's what he's needed all along. Both the 74 Beyer and the 95 raw TimeformUS rating are good enough to make him a prime contender this afternoon, and I think 5/2 on him would be fair value.
