Won a 7f Maiden last October SP of 86.

03..WANGO TANGO….. Owned by zewango4….. Riden by….. V Townsend 5/1 fav
Lots to like about this filly ranked 24 in the sprint division. Stepped up to the Classic distance last time out, did not disgrace herself in the California Oaks-G1, over 8.5f fast dirt, finishing 5th of 14, 4 lengths back SP of 96 (best SP in the field today). The Equinics John Longdon G1 6f fast dirt contest was the race before, finish again 5th of 20 SP of 91. Finished 2nd in the 7f DelPenn Dangerous Reward h’cap, chasing home the 7th ranked sprinter LUCKY’S BROOK LYNN. Race before in November 2005 was The ROSEY WEST Challenge-Stakes which was the last time this filly won, 6f fast dirt SP of 89.
Verdict…Looks a star in the making, should win if gets to the front early.
04..CINEMATIC….. Owned by topicountc….. Riden by….. R Tatersall 10/1
only 5 runs for this filly winning 2. Tried the turf first 3 races. Debut race was a little 4 runner stakes race, back in October 2005 which she won leading all the way. Another of the turf races was the DPCD Juvenile fillies turf, well beaten 14th of 16. Was switched over to the fast dirt surface for both races this term 1st being a 6.5f race finishing 2nd with an SP of 83. Latest outing was The DARALLEY Challenge-Stakes over 7f, led from 1/2 way, to win by 1/2 length recording career best SP of 92.
Verdict…May struggle to get to the front to lead here.
05..ICEPRO T….. Owned by shanx….. Riden by….. K Ebner 18/1
Under achieving at the moment, last time out very disappointing run, finishing 13th of 14 in The STOLEN LOVE Challenge-Stakes over 9f fast dirt SP of 76. Time before 9th of 10 fast dirt 8.5f the Myocardial Infarction Stakes-G3 posting SP of 80. Last win came in The HUGE SPARKY Special-Stakes in August 2005 winning by 3 lengths.

06..REGAL CAT….. Owned by ladysiera7….. Riden by….. D Conrad 6/1 2nd fav
On a real rich vein of form at present, 3 stakes wins in a row 2 this term. 10 runs and 6 wins including 4 stakes wins for this filly. Last time out 8f fast dirt, post to wire win by 1 length, SP of 91. Best SP 94, came last race of 2005, a 6.5f fast dirt contest, leading all the way again. Another interesting race was The DANCER HANNAH Stakes over 7f fast dirt, were she finished 2nd with high ranked ZYTOWN just behind her.
Verdict…Could be a first to lead wins tussle with WANGO TANGO.
07..FANTASMIC….. Owned by alphonso….. Riden by….. K Wakeman 13/1
Lightly raced filly by UNBRIDLED’S SONG only 6 runs to date with 2 wins. Last time out was outclassed in the Florida Oaks-G2 9f fast dirt, finishing last, TERRITORIAL T was way infront of her in that race, SP of 73. Race prior to that respectable 3rd SP of 89 over 8.5f fast dirt Myocardial Infarction Stakes-G3. Last win came in October 2005 as a 2yr old in the 6.5f fast dirt The MINE SWORD Memorial-Stakes winning by just under a length posting an SP of 85.
Verdict…Last race was a worry, may have been a little jaded, if bounces back could be top 5.
08..NICE CABOOSE….. Owned by 29ways….. Riden by….. T LeVan 12/1
Upped in class last time out and did not disappoint, finishing 2nd in The DAWN TREADER Bonanza-Stakes over 8.5f fast dirt SP of 92. Previous race was a 8f fast dirt 4 runner Allowance finishing 1st easing down to win by a length SP of 80. Won her Maiden in September 2005 over todays distance and going, leading all the way by 2 lengths.
Verdict…Very nice improving sort who may suprise a few.
09..A OK RAIDER….. Owned by raider98….. Riden by….. B Coleman 12/1
This filly had her second run on the green stuff last time out failing to deliver, finishing 9th of 10 in The BANANA STALLION Stakes over 8f firm turf, poor SP of 70. Race before, Equinics race the Jerry Bailey G1 fast dirt, 8f event, over 11 lengths 13th of 20 SP of 81. Won a nice 5 runner 6f firm turf allowance by a head race before. Won the DPCD Juvenile Fillies 8f fast dirt in December 2005, beating some useful sorts on that day, posting an impressive 92.
Verdict…Needs the form shown in the DPCD Juvenile to make the frame.
10..JADES TREASURE….. Owned by thebandit….. Riden by….. B Renfroe 9/1
Ranked 34 in the classic division from only 7 runs. Debut race June 2005 winning MSW over 5.5f fast dirt impressive SP of 81.

The race after was her best performance the Golden Red Stakes-G2 finished 2nd 1 length down to classy ZYTOWN ranked 3, had TERRITORIAL T 15 lengths behind her. Last race was this years only race which was a turf test over 6f stakes race finishing 6th of 7. Ignore latest effort.
