ALYLADO

8/1

This 3 year old has run with this class before, including against older, but the speed figs will need to come up some in order to be a factor here. Off track shouldn’t be a problem (2 wins in 3 starts on OT)

9/1

Similar issues to Alylado above, but with more inconsistency (2 wins in 20 starts) – Also needs to show more in the speed figure department than this 4 yr old has shown so far. Will be coming hard down the stretch.

This royally-bred 4 yr old is clearly the one to beat, coming off of 7 straight triple digit races, including 2 races at 110+. Dropping back to ungraded stakes should see this Storm Cat son come storming past his rivals, provided he gets an honest pace in front of him. And he has 5 wins in 6 starts on off tracks to boot.

5/1

Consistent in both speed and finishes (his last 5 races have been 1-3-1), this 4 yr old has some question marks in class, as this is his first ever stakes attempt after 22 races. On the other hand, this guy is one of the few early speed horses in this race. A lively pace might steal it up front.

Another one that might have class issues, this 4 yr old has had his best results recently in allowance races. Recent stakes tries haven’t been that promising for him. Another closer that will have to watch the pace.

7/2

A solid campaigner coming off of a nice 8 furlong win, also on a good track, this one will also need to up his last couple of speed figs with this crowd. But the form is there to do just that.

This 4 yr old vet seems in a bit over his head, as his last 8 races have produced a single triple digit speed fig (102), and that was in a mid-level allowance race. Will need to see a huge improvement to cash a check here.
