vi singleton                            5/2

This three year old son of MORE THAN READY out of the Sim Mare INFLECTION is unbeaten in two career starts and comes in off an 86 speed victory at an Allowance Race at this same tarck and distance. He has run off the pace in his first two starts and will likely use similar tactics here against this impressive group of five. He has a good chance to keep his streak going and should garner lots of interest at the betting windows.

This three year old son of ORDER OF ST. GEORGE out of the Sim Mare KUWANYAUMA began his career with three straight HOT races spread out over a period of nine months. He won two of those and was runner-up in the other. In his last HOT race he impressed with 82 speed and ownership decided to make the jump to a Stakes race. On November 5th he competed in the “URC Breeders Championships – Juvy Turf Sprint” and in a twenty horse field he busted 89 speed and lost by a head to SCATTERED CLOTHES. He should be in the mix here against this small field and has as good a chance as any at finding a spot on the board.

This three year old son of HAMPTON COURT out of the Sim Mare BARBS BABA WAWA has finished in the money in all six of his career starts and makes his second straight Stakes appearance. He ended his two-year old campaign at the “Strong Ride Turf Juvenile” where he ran 82 speed over the six furlong track and was narrowly beaten by TOOMSUBA. He could top 100 speed here in his first three year old start and will likely make the jump to Graded Stakes in the coming months.

This three year old son of HANDSOME FRANCO out of the Sim Mare MAYBE EXCEPTIONAL had a very busy two-year old campaign where he made nine starts in nine months after debuting with a win last February. He seemed to thrive on little rest and had five wins including two Stakes wins at the “Ton Gleam Turf Juvenile” and “Sittin In a Tree G Turf Juvenile”. In his last start he ran 92 speed but finished sixth at the “Agent X Turf Juvenile” which took place just four weeks ago. He goes off as the deserving co-favorite and if he pulls off the win he might get a well deserved rest as a reward from the ownership group.

This three year old scratch bred BRICKS AND MORTAR ( x DANSILI x DEEP IMPACT) colt has finished in the money in five of his six career starts with the only blemish being a sixth place finish two back at the G1 “Duetoburst Stakes”. He followed that up with a third place finish on December 18 at the “Otto O Turf Juvenile” where he ran 95 speed in his first start after being gelded. He has gone seven or seven and a half furlongs in all but one of his races so it will be interesting to see how he responds to the shorter track.
