PRICEY COURAGE Stakes (Extra)

The PRICEY COURAGE Challenge
13F Turf
Race: 3483.3310

(1) Western Sculpture – by Statue Of Liberty (Stormcat)

Nice run at 12F in The RIDGE COMING (Ire) Stakes with a 106SP run in a fast 2.30 time.
A stakes win at the distance in St-The SURREPTITIOUS Stakes with 100SP
winning time 2.46 2/5.
Current form is probably better than some in this race and appears fresh and fit. Should go very close here.

(2) Simulation King (Ire) – by Desert King (Ire)

Has been in some hard races of late the G1 Classic Turf Stakes and the G1 Japan Classic.
Despite not featuring in these races has been able to stay up in form and has a handy jockey aboard in M. Day. Was running on in last two starts and will enjoy the drop from
Group racing. Won the G1 – Lots Of luck at 12F a while back with 104SP and a winning time of 2.30 2/5. Look for big run here.

(3) Dubfly’s Wells – by E.Dubai

This horse is a 13F specialist and is unbeaten in last three outing over the distance.
Was a winner last time out in the Senior Rizzo Challenge 101Sp in a time of 2.46 1/5.
Can’t see this horse not getting in the money somewhere and is probably a fair chance
to go 4 in a row at this distance if certain others don’t rise in form to meet the occasion and the challenge. One of the main chances.

(4) Sage (Ire) – by Great Pyramid (Ire)

Has reasonable jockey on board in J. Wesselman and has stayed up to 14F and
has been trying hard in all its races. May find this race a bit tough.
Prefer to see this horse take them on over 16F as it really does appear to have
that extra range.

(5) Freeze (NZ) _ by Zabeel (NZ)
Looking sharp till G1 – World Cup then big form drops when asked for more group runs.
On its best the horse may well win here but it appears tired and may need a few more
races like this or allowance to find its feet again.
It has the times like in the 12F Smackdown III 109SP 2.29 3/5 and g1 Sword Swallower Stakes 108SP 2.29 2/5.
Very Classy on its day but will this be its day ? Maybe not this one.
Will get every chance being ridden by top jockey P. Harzheim and it’s doubtful you’ll
see a 73SP like last outing expect to see an improved run.

(6) Caramon (Ire) – by Desert King (Ire)

The second of the Desert King (Ire) runners in this race is an improving type with a
win last start at 12F in the Mambo Jumbo Special but race was run in a leisurely
2.30 4/5. Will need to improve again to feature here. Outside chance at best.

(7) Off The Block (FR) – by Highest Honor (FR)

Can’t have on current form has been failing to win at Allowance level at 12F
and hasn’t got up to a 100SP run that would be required here. Will find
this difficult with some big Group 1 horses also entered who are trying to regain form.
Prefer in easier race.
