Baby for forest stakes
The $100,000 Baby for Forest stakes 2762.5310 to be contested over 13 furlongs on turf on a good track is a very interesting affair with 8 of the 9 runners at odds of 8/1 or less. Let us look at the form guide and try to find some buried treasure.
PP1 ROYAL GUEST Owner thereason, General Reason x Weekend guest x paristo 7/1
This 4 year old is steping up in distance to travel 13 furlongs for the first time in this very even race. I feel that 13 furlongs will just be to much for this 4 year old colt with 11 furlongs being the about the right distance but the x factor is his great recod on wet tracks with 2 wins and a second form tree starts.
PP2 SILKY WELLS Owner punta2, Lear Fan x Sadler’s Wells x Buckpasser 7/1
Bad wet track form and the step up in distance make it very hard to see this 5 year old in the finish I feel this horse is under the odds at 7/1 but who knows I have been wrong before.
PP3 HOLLOFLY’S HOLLOW(GB) Owner hollofly, Beat hollow x green dancer x alleged 4/1
This 4 time stake winner has only missed a place 3 times in 20 starts. He has been in some good form since his owner swiched back to racing on turf with 2 stakes wins in his past 3 starts. He looks to be right in this race with a cut back in distance likley to boost his speed rating.
PP4 FLAWLESS Owner relaunch, Louis Quayorze x Machiavellian x Foolish Pleasure 5/1
This is an interesting runner with no form between 10f and 16f all we can go on is his last 2 runs with a first and a second in 2 stake races over 16 furlongs. With such a slick field he may just find this a little to strong but i would put him in the trifectas.
PP5 DESERT OASIS Owner michap, Green Desert x Seeking The gold x Secretariat
Coming back to turf after 2 disarster runs on dirt this 6 year old son of green desert will need to lift to take out this race. But I think he can win if he can get back to his form of 5 starts ago will the step up in distance help him out only time will tell. give him a place chance.
PP6 WATER WATCH Owner dreaming Sadler’s Wells x Seeking The gold x Blushing Groom(FR) 8/1
Back to stakes level for this fella who I think is past his best steping up to the 13 furlongs trying to recapture old form.For me he should be back in allowence company and I wouldn’t bet on him till he shows the good form in a stakes race.
PP7 TREASURE OF ARMANA(IRE) Owner bezza1975 Swain x Pleasant Colony x Royal Ski 3/1
This 5 year old put in an ordinary performance last start after just a 2 week break, although it was G1 company he will turn it all around this week and win this race with a leg in the air.With the great J Kohlmorgen in the saddle this horse should be even money. This is the best bet since Makybe Diva won the Melbourne cup. Bet your house on it!!!!!!!
PP8 PRIZED INDY Owner m92885 Prized x A.P. Indy x Caerleon 8/1
Well this horses first start a stakes level or better was a disarster with him not getting within a furlong of the winner but that was over 16 furlongs and I feel that this race will suit him better. He could suprise but he can get no closer than second. Put him in your Trifectas.
PP9 HEEZ RUTHLESS(IRE) Owner walshy, High Chaparral(Ire) x Diesis(GB) x Machiavellian 16/1
Two shocking runs lately on wet tracks have seen this horse’s odds blow out to 16/1 and for that reason I will leave him out of my trifectas he needs to show some form.
This race is set up for TREASURE OF ARMANA(IRE) barring a disastor or injury he will win easy.
Look for ROYAL GUEST,HOLLOFLY’S HOLLOW(GB),DESERT OASIS,FLAWLESS and PRIZED INDY to get the placings.
The suggested bet is to put all your money on TREASURE OF ARMANA(IRE).
