PP#1 Grausturm owned by Chooke. This chestnut mare is going out at 3/1 odds ridden by An Cutry. This daughter of Storm Cat is ranked #107, won the Mad Flock Bonanza and the Sal Pulpit Stakes. This mare has not shown much at this distance but this millionaire might pull something off.
PP#2 Abigail owned by Kobras4. She is at 13/1 odds and ridden by B Clancy. Her speed figures are a little low and she has not shown much on the turf. She likes the shorter distance on the grass. If she gets lucky she will have a good run.
PP#3 Herbalism owned by Ninerae. She is ranked #144, she won the La Dorada Special and she has shown definite speed improvement in her last two races. She is at 10/1 and ridden by B Dimma. I see this chestnut filly running a nice race.
PP#4 Scorpion Sky owned by Gowand8. This very nice chestnut mare is at 8/1 odds ridden by K Murray. She is ranked #93 and won the Boon Turf Stakes G3. I predict a high speed figure in this race. She has an excellent chance at finishing in the money.
PP#5 Leather Lion owned by Tazdevil. This brown mare has experience at this distance but the speed simply is not high enough to win.She is ridden by E Mathers and at 5/1. She has to run a fast race to keep up with the other girls.
PP#6 Nighthawk Lust owned by 4nighthawk. This is the favorite at 5/2 odds and ridden by G Rivers. This is a very nice brown filly, ranked #87. She won the Rum Glen(GER) Special and the Desert Flower Stakes G3. She loves the turf and has proved in the past she is talented at this distance.
PP#7 Crash Bang Angel(IRE) owned by Irt1. She is ranked #61 and my pick to win, she won the Swell Prospector Stakes, the Andes Inca Memorial and the When paul Met Ben(IRE) Special. This pretty brown filly has great speed lately. She is at 9/2 and ridden by Q Simien. She has an excellent chance to outrun the other girls in this field.
PP#8 Fort Whistler owned by Bosox. This light grey filly is at 10/1 odds ridden by P Wolff. This is her first stakes race. Her speed in her last two races clearly shows she can be competitive in this race. She is my longshot pick.
PP#9 Imsogoody(SAF) owned by Boldrule99. She has to be Good to beat the other horses in this field. The speed is just not there lately. In the last six races, her fastest speed figure was a 90. I’m just not seeing it today. She is at 13/1 odds and ridden by Ba Scott.
Good Luck Everyone!
