1 Orogeny(TUR) VERYWIDE R Heenan(16%) 3/1
Starts: 7—5-1-1 Track: 0—0-0-0 Distance: 3—2-1-0 Dirt: 7—5-1-1 Earnings: $162,920
Talented filly who has done nothing wrong in seven starts to date, Her last run she fell in to beat a small field of hoses who would be long odds in this race. Small field helps here again and is sure to get a good run in transit. Stable has never had a runner finish in the money in a graded race, her most impressive win came in the FLY SEEKER CHALLENGE where she raced away for a 3 and a half length win.
2 Gigantic Hope(KY) 3RDTRY K Wakeman(4%) 3/1
Starts: 10—4-2-1 Track: 0—0-0-0 Distance: 3—1-0-1 Dirt: 9—4-2-1 Earnings: $141,805
Was hitting the line well last run over 6F in the WARFARE FARM STAKES so the step back up to 7F will be a help,her speed ratings have been improving with every run and doesn’t have to improve much more to be a chance to get the money today, The query I have is the jockey, K Wakeman has not been riding too well lately and may get outsmarted in the small field.
3 Bahama Breeze(KY) TOPICOUNT4 P Dylan(16%) 5/2
Starts: 8—2-3-0 Track: 1—1-0-0 Distance: 0—0-0-0 Dirt: 7—2-3-0 Earnings: $100,740
Has raced beyond 7F at all her starts to date but judging by her first two runs looks to have a bit of early speed so should settle just behind the leader, the worry is she hasn’t won since November last year but her last two starts have been a real improvement and has won at this track which is a real big advantage, her last run she was run down over the last little bit in the EL DINGA CHALLENGE over 7.5F and a repeat of that run will see her in the finish
4 Saracen(KY) DIXIEDOTCO
Starts: 10—4-3-1 Track: 0—0-0-0 Distance: 1–1-0-0 Dirt: 9—4-3-0 Earnings: $625,250
Outstanding win last time in the HELLO MOMMA SPECIAL G1 over this distance and should just about win this on that run, In that run she did beat a quality field where every runner was a Graded winner or stakes winner. She is the class runner of the field and with top jockey and very astute trainer logic says she will just win.
Conclusion
I think 4 SARACEN should win I feel she has the class and will win a lot more Graded races in the future, I’ve put in 3 BAHAMA BREEZE with 2 GIGANTIC HOPE for third
