In the shadow of the FILLY GRAND PRIX
THE MOTHER LIVE BONANZA Stakes,run in lovely Ascot are a bit in the shadow of the Group I FILLY GRAND PRIX OVER one mile of the same racard.Only 6 fillies will enter the starting boxex for this 90000 Dollar event.No one of the great stables has an entrance so there is a chance for stables ,who are not regulars in those races to catch a nice prizemoney.But now the candidates.
PP 1 poloegroft GABOR¨S BLUE GOLD (Blue BoatxGold StagexStutz Blackhawk)
This filly makes ther journey over the Atlantic for this start.After three races on the dirt between 5f to 6,5 f in MC and |MSW company resulting in two second places but only reaching a SP high of 58,she switches now to Turf.If the change of the surface brings no significant improvement,it seems hard to see this filloy beiong involved in the outcome of the race.She’s the 27/1 longshot of the Morning Line.
PP 2 szemere DALMONA (GB) (Definite Article(GB)xArjaasxShareef Dancer)
She is the only debutant in the race.Her sire has not many runners in the sim and to this date his winners won obviousl on a dirt surface.So we will see if this filly will take her chance on grass.From the point of breeding she should have no problem to stay the distance,maybe a furlong more would be ideal.In this little field she could get a piece of the cake.Interesting outsider at 25/1.
PP 3 gabor HIGH ON GABOR (CryptoclearancexHigh YieldxKingmambo)
This is the pari Morningline favorite.After 3 Starts an two wins at 5f and 5,5 f her last start was in the Group III
MOONY STAKES over 7,5 f.
After laying second the whole race she lost this position at the nd to finish third beaten a 1/2 length.The return to7f could be ideal and she is the horse to beat.
PP4 elnap NOPPY ROOTS (More Than ReadyxZabeelxDanehill)
This filly is the most experienced of the bunch,with four starts.She managed 2 wins over 5 ad 5,5 f.Her last start was in the NINETEEN STORM STAKES over 6,5 f,where she finished secon in a field of 4 and reached her best SP of 75.With further improvement she should take a hand in the finish.Odds of 5/1
PP 5 catomine OTTO ANSWERS (KingmamboxMineshaftxMiswaki)
This filly has three starts under her belt and reaches two wins at 5 f.Her lto in an ALW over 8f ended with a fourth place.I am not sure if the cut in distance is enough to show the filly in her real lioght.Maybe she will take the lead and last it out.But I think she must improve to play a role in the finish.
PP 6 elite 3 HEAVEN AND EARTH (IRE) (Peintre Celebre(IRE)xSufday SilencexMill Reef)
This filly comes in this race with one winning start.This was a MSW over 7f,which she won easily with a good SP of 76.
With the likely improvement,this filly should be the greatest danger for the pari favourite.
The finish in this race should be between HIGH ON GABOR and HEAVEN AND EARTH.fOR THE MINOR PLACINGS COULD BE A GREATER FIGHT WITH THE DEBUTING FILLY DALMONA )gb) as a surprise.
