Broohar Stables trains this 3yrold ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (IRE) x VICE REGENT x MR. PROSPECTOR filly has raced 9 times for 5 wins and has shown promise in stakes company must be great chance nice 2^nd two starts back in The WARM WARNING(GB) Stakes has won twice over 7f and look the one to beat.

2 145978 MRS. PRADO(KY) tenpin6 P Chamberlin 6/1

Rockriver Stables trains this filly by sire of the moment EL PRADO(IRE) x MR. PROSPECTOR x SEATTLE SLEW she is a true blueblood of the sim and would be valuable even if she couldn’t run a yard. Bred to be a top class turf runner she has shown quality winning 3 from 12 and over $100,000 in stakes won The YARNI MARNI Memorial–Stk as a 2yrold all 3yrold racing has been in allowance company and she now looks ready for return to stakes racing.

3 140609 PHANTOM MENACE(ENG) given3 O Rann 11/1

One of the outsiders of this field this filly is trained by top trainer Given Stables: Fire and Blood has won 5 of her 10 races to date including The DANARAZI Bonanza-Stk over 7.5f as a 2yrold and has won last 2 in allowance company I think this girl has got under the odds makers guard and you could do worse than put your money on her here.

4 149607 NEVAEH SKY(KY) adrian0 K Thompson 5/2

KINGMAMBO x STORM CAT x MILL REEF wow who wouldn’t want a filly bred like this trained by Astins Place she has another who has won 5 from 10 she has mixed her races between dirt and turf. Has won 3 times over this journey twice on turf and must be accorded a show here.

5 147539 MAKALIYA(JPN) tonelles A Whalen 9/2

Dupre Stables trains this filly by more obscure sire DAMISTER x PLATINI (GER) x MUHTARRAM 2 wins from 15 starts say she doesn’t win out of turn has some place form but has not a very good stakes record so place chance looks best here.

6 3832 BELLY DANCE(KY) dowelly3 T Rharfoman 5/1

Hunter Valley Stables trains this filly by MR. GREELEY from the he-mare GENEROUS IRISH(IRE) and has the services of the top local jockey for this race. She has won 5 from 12 and adds to the puzzle when trying to select a winner. She has sprint and classic distance form be hind her and has performed in stakes company. Won The KISS IN THE WIND Memorial-Stk over 8f 3 starts back and looks a fine chance in fast run race here.
