Possible BB Turf Juv. faces 6 in Candle Que

Nebraska
The Candle Que (IRE) Challenge will be run this week at 8.5 furlongs on the good turf for $45,000.  A evenly matched field of 6 has arrived.
First up is #1 LAKE RAIDER   4/1.  He’s a son of Shahrastani, with a 5/2-1-1 record.  Trained by raider99 he’s stakes placed at 6.5f SP80, and coming off a 5th in a SMACK DOWN race SP77 over 7f.  Distance might be a bit long for him. 
#2 RAISED ON ROYALTY   is by Storm Cat x Forty Niner x Unbridled, he’s 5/2-1-2 on the turf included a 3rd in a stakes SP75.  He’s had a pair of allowance runs at a mile, SP77 and 80 so the distance shouldn’t be a problem.  Also he’s 1 for 1 on the good turf, so he should have no problems here.
#3 COMIC GARDEN   is by Spinning World, and is a filly facing the boys.  She’s 4/2-1-0, the only off the board finish was a 6f G1 try where she’s finished a decent 6th SP69, most recently she placed 2nd in a 8f Stakes SP78.  Tries the boys for the first time.
#4 YOUR HONOR RAIDER  4/1 is 5/3-1-0 by Alnaab.  He’s the first stakes winner we see in the field, a 6f win with a SP77.  Most recently he’s coming off a 4th in the 7f SMACK DOWN race, which also earned him a SP77.  Looks as good as the rest, so a win isn’t out of the question.
#5 TIVO  9/2 is another Storm Cat colt, with a 4/2-0-0 turf record.  His wins included a msw and 8f All. SP68 and 80.  Coming off a disappointing try in the Up North Juv. G3 where he placed 12th.  Drop to open stakes will definitely help, and his figures are as good as the others.
#6 SKILLS IN MAGIC  is the one to beat at 5/2, by Denon x Sadlers Wells he’s 4/2-2-0 and earned over $228k and is ranked 31st.  A msw winner 1st time out SP67, he’s since placed 2nd in both a 6.5f open stakes and G3 stakes (SP77/83).  Last time out he also run in the SMACK DOWN race at 7f, and he was the easy winner SP82.  Top Jockey aboard, looks like a tough horse to beat and one to watch, could end up in the BB Juv. Turf later this year.
