Trainer Todd Pletcher is confident his Arkansas Derby winner Danza will deliver another top effort in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

In the G1 Arkansas Derby on April 12 at Oaklawn Park, Danza and jockey Joe Bravo slipped along the rail to seize the lead in the stretch before drawing off to an easy 4¾ lengths score at just his fourth career start and second for the year.

The Arkansas Derby marked the colt's first try at two turns and Danza excelled after rating in fourth early.

"I don't think that race took much out of him," Pletcher noted. "It wasn't like he had to battle through the stretch or anything."

Pletcher said he feels Danza is peaking at the right time although the Derby will mark the quickest turnaround to date for Danza, who last year had about a month off between his two juvenile starts.

The final 2013 start for Danza came in August in a third-place effort in the G2 Saratoga Special. He returned on March 1 at Gulfstream and was given six weeks rest before the Arkansas Derby.

Danza looked the part on April 25 at Churchill Downs as he appeared to enjoy the surface during a gallop with Pletcher other Derby entries, the Risen Star Stakes winner Intense Holiday, Spiral Stakes winner We Miss Artie and Sam F. Davis Stakes winner Vinceremos.

Danza and Vinceremos will have the quickest Derby turnarounds of three weeks since their latest start.

Intense Holiday will have had five weeks off, while We Miss Artie receives six weeks rest.

If all four make it to the starting gate on Saturday, it will mark the fifth time Pletcher has sent out at least four Derby starters.

While he has been the top US trainer of the 21st century and has sent out the second-most Derby starters of any trainer in history, Pletcher has just one Derby victory to his credit with Super Saver.
