Good Vista Handicap is going to be a cracker
11 Ladys of the turf Go to the post for the $150,000 Good Vista Handicap 2776.1115 to be run over 9 furlongs on turf for fillies or mares 4yo and up, here in the great state of Ohio. Let’s open up the form guide to try and pick a winner.
PP1
RIVERBOAT QUEEN
Game Dam : PROUD MARY Current Owner: torrential A.P. INDY x NUREYEV x PLEASANT COLONY 9/2
Lightley raced 5yo mare who has been in great form without quite winning. She has been in the top 5 9 times in 9 stake or graded races and is consistantly getting speed ratings of 100+. The interesting thing will be to see if the extra furlong will suit. has a chance.
PP2
IRISH BONUS
Current Owner: togasarasa MERITOCRAT x TWIG MOSS(FR) x L’ENJOLEUR 29/1
This horse was claimed for $7,500 back in week 2720 and has managed to win $127,096. Last 2 starts for new owner (who is chasing his 6th win) have been at stake level or better, she ran a good 4th to Spooky Ballet over 10f and then put in a shocker at grade 1 level running 2nd last 25 lengths from the winner. I think she is a good buy for $7,500 but is racing out of her class. I would like to see her in a starter or allowence and get a couple more wins before racing at this level.
PP3
SOTTO VOCE
Game Dam : UNBRIDLED SLEW Current Owner: sgtbones KINGMAMBO x SEATTLE SLEW x UNBRIDLED 12/1
Nice victory last start when she charged down the leaders to win at stake level for the first time since a grade 2 win in week 2538. I think the extra furlong is a + and if she get’s a good run she might be in the finish. But she will still need to keep improving if we are to see her in the winners inclosure. Place bet only.
PP4
OTHFLY’S MAMBO Current Owner: othello KINGMAMBO x SADLER’S WELLS x BLUSHING GROOM(FR) 9/2
Very good horse who just tired last start to finish 3rd in the The PRINCESS SKY(AUST) Special-Stk but before that had 3 wins in a row including a win in the He’s A Charmer Stakes-G3 with a speed rating of 108. This horse will lead the race and will be very hard to run down.
PP5
KING SNAKE
Game Dam : LUNA PARK Current Owner: kingfish SADLER’S WELLS x KINGMAMBO x SEATTLE SLEW 9/1
Former Irish oaks winner who has been out of form of late and has been a nightmare for punters. Has a habit of finishing in the top five but she can’t be in front when it matters. She has been having a lot of time off latley and I think the more she runs the better she will get, Unfortunatly I can’t see her winning in a very tough field.
PP6
ZASPIRIT(NZ)
Current Owner: springapp ZABEEL(NZ) x QUEST FOR FAME(GB) x DANEHILL 36/1
This 4yo filly has been racing well in grade 1 company and was totally unsuited by the wet track last time out in an allowence. She seems to perform the same no matter what type of race she is in. Considering all her good form has been in races around 12f I think this race will prove to short for this 1 paced horse. I will be looking for her late to try to make a big run down the outside but for mine she will miss the placings. Maybe put her in for 3rd in trifectas.
PP7
KILL BILL
Current Owner: punisher KUROFUNE x DEHERE x RISEN STAR 6/1
Has won 5 stakes races in a row and has finished top 2 in her last 13 runs. Likes to sit on leaders back an take over 2 furlongs from home but this will be a different race because she will have to chase OTHFLY’S MAMBO so expect her to have a better speed rating this time out. Winning form is good form and at 6/1 I think she may run a very big race.
PP8
TOMMY
Current Owner: artistway DANZIG x NIJINSKY II x NUREYEV 6/1
Boy oh Boy this field just keeps getting better. This very well bred 4yo filly has had just 8 starts for 6 wins a 2nd and a 3rd. She has come through the grades and won at stakes level at her first try and then followed it up by running 2nd in the Jacinto Vasquez grade 1. Expect to see her near the back of the field and I think she will want a fast pace up front from OTHFLY’S MAMBO. With the best run and a bit of luck in the straight you might see her salute the judge. One of the horse’s to beat.
PP9
CAN U DIG IT
Current Owner: kick4home CHESTER HOUSE x DEPUTY COMMANDER x VICEREGAL 22/1
Not going so well in last couple of runs but steping back to 9 furlongs will be a +. she won a stakes race 5 starts back and is a consistant performer at that level but this is a big step up in class and with some of the opposition compeating a grade 1 level she will need a lot of luck. She will sit on the outside of OTHFLY’S MAMBO but I can’t see her winning. May sneak a place.
PP10
ALBERTA GOLD
Current Owner: bertaal FORTY NINER x SEATTLE SLEW x DANZIG 3/1
Sun State Cup-G1 winner has beeen running very well of late with very good speed figures. She won a grade 2 race just 3 starts back and the was runner up in penn mile on Dell Penn Champions day. She is ranked 3rd in the division & deserves to be favorite. M Grunhard in the sadle is a bonus as he is in great form. The interesting question will be is where he will settle in the field. If he is to win he be right on the pace. Another great chance.
PP11
SEXY FOX HOUND
Current Owner: otto EAGLE EYED x RAKEEN x PROSPECTOR’S MUSIC 8/1
Great Name and not a bad horse. She has won most of her $365,000 in allowence and starter races and she has also been consistant at stakes level, but she is yet to win at stakes level which is why I can’t pick her to win. If I owned her I think I would try to find her a stakes race that she would win before she took on this class of horse However if she can improve I think she can sneak a place.
Now this is a hard race to pick OTHFLY’S MAMBO will take the lead with RIVERBOAT QUEEN on his outside with a huge pack of horses sitting close behind including KILL BILL and ALBERTA GOLD with SOTTO VOCE 2nd last and TOMMY out the back. OTHFLY’S MAMBO will open a huge gap at the 3 furlong pole with RIVERBOAT QUEEN taking off first to run her down. Sotto Voice will pull out of the pack but her run will be short lived. KILL BILL,ALBERTA GOLD and SEXY FOX HOUND will
start to strech out and make there runs with TOMMY making his charge down the extreem outside. 1 furlong out OTHFLY’S MAMBO still just in front RIVERBOAT QUEEN, KILL BILL &
ALBERTA GOLD trying hard to catch the leader and TOMMY is flying late and at the line it’s
Well, beats me this is way to hard to pick!!!!!
I suggest you take a box Trifecta 1,4,7,8,10
