Post 6 – Spanking Time

This bay colt is another that likes to make up ground in the latter part of his races. Showed improvement in his last to finish 2nd earning a speed rating of 75. He is the 2nd foal out of Sidewalk Preacher, her first foal is a stakes winner.

Post 7 – The Law Won Again

Post 9 – Blank Magic
Owner – kody5
Pedigree – Zensational x Nureyev x Seattle Slew – Dam Bred (Big Hana)

Blank Magic is a roan colt. He started his career being beaten soundly in a Racing HQ dirt maiden in UAE. He then switched to turf and set the pace in his lone turf start before fading in the stretch and finishing 2nd. He then stretched out to 7 furlongs on dirt and went gate to wire finishing with a 79 speed rating. He is the 13th foal out of Big Hana. She has foaled 2 graded/group placed runners and 2 stakes winners.

Post 10 – Spinning Squall
Owner – ydrbargain
Pedigree – Bahamian Squall x Spinning World x Royal Academy – Dam Bred (Royal Spinner)

Spinning Squall is a bay that was beaten 2 lengths in his debut at 5 furlongs. He then got his win at 6.5 furlongs coming from off the pace. He then added more distance against winners but showed no late rally. His best speed rating was 79.

Post 11 – Lincolnshire
Owner – dustyla86
Pedigree – Camelot(GB) x Fastnet Rock(AUS) x New Approach(IRE) – Dam Bred (Nastja Ch)

Lincolnshire is a bay colt that has never finished worse than 3rd. He finished 3rd in his debut. Then improved to get his picture taken at 6 furlongs. His third start was against winners and he was a game 2nd after setting the pace for most of the 7 furlong race earning an 82 speed rating.

Post 12 – Marsh King’s Mount
Owner – lizardlion
Pedigree – King Kamehameha x Dynaformer x Nijinsky 2nd – Scratch Bred

This bay colt is another that has never finished worse than 3rd. He started with a 3rd in his debut and then followed up with a nice score at 7 furlongs. He then faced an allowance nw1x field and finished 2nd with a 77 speed rating.

Post 13 – Izetta
Owner – winterz2
Pedigree – Savabeel(AUS) x Sea The Stars(IRE) x Duke Of Marmalade – Dam Bred (Elrod Package)

This bay colt is undefeated. His lone start was a maiden HOT race in which he sat off the pace and finished nicely earning a 71 speed rating for 7 furlongs. He may show improved speed in his second start.

Post 14 – Sepoy’s Entry
Owner – pogdig1
Pedigree – Point Of Entry x Sepoy(AUS) x Forest Wildcat – Dam Bred (Tudor Arm Off)

Sepoy’s Entry is a bay colt with a couple of wins in 4 career starts. He showed his ability to pass horses in his first two starts but was not able to crack the top 3 spots in either. He stayed much closer to the early pace in his third start and then finished well to win by 1 ¼ lengths. He followed that race up with a very good race against winners to win an allowance nw2l by ¾ lengths.

How I see this race.

I believe that Rowdy Jabali, Blank Magic, Lincolnshire and Marsh King’s Mount will be competing to lead the field out of the gate. Lunatic Lander, Vistient, Gutha See You, Exaltastic and Izetta will be stalking the pace looking for weakness on the front end. Nothin’ Enquired, Spanking Time, The Law Won Again, Spinning Squall and Sepoy’s Entry will try and come from off the pace.

First – Exaltastic
