Lovely 4yo filly with an overall record of 17-7-3-2 and banking $347k. She is in fine form at the moment and looks a great chance. Last start she won the Notebook Leslie Dirt Mare Memorial 9.5F.

Filly in great form and look for her to be storming home late. Big chance.

5yo mare in form. Overall record 27-10-6-4 and banking $846k. Last start she was 3rd in the G1 Great Dane 14F. She sat on pace in 3rd and didn’t progress throughout. She was beaten just over 5 lengths and ran an SP of 102. Prior to that she was 2nd in the G1 2020 Equinics – Grand Canyon 10F. Sat 3rd in the run a couple of lengths from the lead.

She sat 3rd in the run before taking over late and running away to win by 2.5 lengths and running an SP of 112. Mare who runs well over the distance and is in form. She will be up on pace making her own luck and in with a big chance.
3. 21601 – More Ready Lady (More Than Ready) Owned by dkstables3. – Jockey – Z. Ayya – 6/1.
5yo mare who is mixing her form a little. Overall record 23-7-4-2 and banking $455k. Last start she won an allowance over 10F in UAE. Sat 5th around 8 lengths from the lead. She really wound up strongly in the stretch to win easily by nearly 3 lengths and running an SP of 106. Prior to that she put in a shocker when 10th in the G2 Breakdown 16F. She sat back in 8th and wilted throughout to be beaten over 32 lengths and running an SP of 88. Obviously, the distance was just to far for her. Prior to that she was 6th in the G3 Charlotte Cup 14F. She sat back in 8th some 11 lengths from the lead. She made steady progress in the straight to be beaten by nearly 5 lengths and running an SP of 102. Before that she won the Hannah’s Boo Boo Dirt Mare Stayer 11.5F. She was back in 4th but over 10 lengths from the lead. She stormed home that day to win easily by over 3 lengths and running an SP of 112. If she runs up to her win in the Hannah’s Boo Boo then she is a real live chance. Should be running on strongly.
4. 17140 – Ready for Seattle (More Than Ready) Owned by sjmeola3. – Jockey – K. G. Skaggs – 9/2
4yo filly with an overall record of 23-8-4-3 and banking $480k. She had been running well and forgive her last start, which was her first try on turf. She ran 12th in the G3 Honorable Dame 8F Turf. She was always well back in the run and didn’t make any impression in the run. She was beaten 9.5 lengths and ran an SP of 99. Prior to that she ran 4th in the G1 2020 Equinics – Taj Mahal 8F. She was well back in 13th some 9 lengths from the lead. She rocketed home in the stretch to be beaten only a length and running an SP of 110. Prior to that she won an allowance over 8.5F. She sat back in 4th some 8 lengths from the lead. Again, she finished powerfully to win by 1.5 lengths and running an SP of 113. Forgive her turf run as wasn’t suited on the surface. She has run well prior to that and has to be included in the chances.
5. 11151 Tana’s Deepwell (Deep Impact) Owned by sonofaus. – Jockey – J. Scott – 8/1
4yo filly with nice record of 9-5-1-0 and banking just on $207k. She has been flying of late and is in great form. Last start she won the Shinkicker Dirt Mare Endurance 11F. She led all the way in the race and won easily by over 3 lengths and running an SP of 112. Prior to that she was 5th in the G2 Grumpy Old Man Marathon 13F. She sat 3rd in the race and wilted from there to end up beaten over 13 lengths. Prior to that she won the A.P Sadler Dirt Mare Route 10F. She sat 2nd but quickly took over in the stretch and ran away the last furlong to win by 2 lengths running an SP of 111. She is in rare form at the moment and with her she should sit on the pace and secure a lovely run. Really live chance.
6. 45723 –Warcatking (Kingman) Owned by adeeprock4. – Jockey – N. Lawton – 7/1
Struggled to win of late but has run some nice races. Overall record is 23-3-4-3 and banking $326k. Last start she was 3rd in the G1 Personal Sign 10F. She sat back in 3rd some 8 lengths from the lead. She made ground in the stretch and was beaten just under 4 lengths and running an SP of 110. Prior to that she was 2nd in the Doctor Opal Dirt Mare Route 10.5F. She sat 3rd almost 7 lengths from the lead and ran home gamely to be beaten 2.5 lengths and running an SP of 111. She was 7th in the Mama Ready Dirt Mare Route 10F prior to that behind Struck by a Ghost. She was 6th in the run and struggled a little in the stretch, beaten nearly 5 lengths and running an SP of 107. She has been thereabouts of late but just seeming to struggle for the win. Think that will be the case again here. Chance for minor money.
7. 89364– Stitchingparachute (Pierro) Owned by nwo4life60. – Jockey – B. BaR. Toral – 16/1
3yo filly tackling the older girls. Form has not been great lately. Has an overall record of 16-3-2-4 and banking $129k. Last time out she ran 3rd in the Huge Royalty Dirt Filly Route 9.5F. Sat 2nd in the run some 5 lengths off the lead and regressed a little beaten 3.5 lengths on the line and running an SP of 103. Prior to that she was 6th in an 8.5F allowance race. She sat 5th in the run and just wilted late to be beaten over 5 lengths and running an SP of 98. Prior to that she was 3rd in a 9F allowance race. She tried to lead all the way and was run down late to be beaten nearly 3 lengths and running an SP of 103. Has struggled in allowance races lately and will need a career best to be in the money here. Her odds probably reflect her chances. Outside chance.
8. 51111 – Kashbooks (Bernardini) Owned by takethekash. – Jockey – B. Scott – 9/2
4yo filly in stunning form winning her last 4 on end. Overall record is great 18-8-1-3 and banking $380k. Last start she won the Stonerum Encore Dirt Mare Stayer 12F. She sat 6th in the run some 13 lengths from the lead. She stormed home to win easily by 3 lengths and running an SP of 114. Prior to that she won the West the Escort Dirt Mare Endurance 16F. She sat 7th again 13 lengths from the lead before unleashing her powerful finish to win eased down by over 6 lengths and running an SP of 103. She won two allowance races prior to that over 12F (109 SP) and 13F (104 SP). She won them both very easily. This filly has not just been winning but winning with ease. She drops to 10F here which may be a factor, but she is just so impressive you would not right her off. Huge chance.
9. 95045– Just a Wasp (Just a Way) Owned by rockfarms. – Jockey – D. Raymond – 20/1
3yo filly who has really struggled off late but has had two promising runs on dirt which are her only runs ion the surface. Last start she was 5th in the G1 10CC Rubber Bullet 10F. She sat back in 6th some 6 lengths from the lead and made steady progress in the run to be beaten 2.5 lengths and running an SP of 103. Prior to that and her 1st start on dirt she was 4th in the G3 Chicago Oaks 9F. She was well back in 10th some 8 lengths from the lead. She rallied late and was beaten just under 5 lengths and running an SP of 109. Her only two runs on dirt have been very good and with further improvement she is better than the odds suggest. Chance.
10. 83262 – You Better Lift (Point of Entry) Owned by tripleh. – Jockey – DJ Brooks – 55/1
3yo filly who probably is not up to this level, hence her odds. Overall record 13-1-3-2 and banking just under $50k. Last start she was 2nd in a 10F allowance race on a shifting track. She ran on okay in the race beaten over 4.5 lengths and running an SP of 93. Prior to that she was 6th in a 10F allowance beaten over 11 lengths and running an SP of 92. She was 2nd in a 10F allowance prior to that beaten over 3 lengths and running an SP of 96. Her form in allowance races is okay but don’t think it will carry over here. Huge odds and probably should be double that.
Fairly even race. But have a clear pick on top.
8. Kaskbooks – She is flying at the moment and that will continue here. Snap up those generous odds. 9/2.
5. Tana’s Deepwell – She should lead and if she has an easy time of it she will be hard to catch. 8/1.
4. Ready for Seattle–. Forgive last run and she is a strong chance in a pretty open race. 9/2.
Roughie: 9. Just a Wasp – Better than her odds suggest. Her two dirt runs have been very good. Sneaky chance at huge odds. 20/.1.
