1.Palladium Lease

Owner:komickash

3 year old colt by Street Sense has a record of 3 wins and 2 thirds in 7 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $100,000. His best career performance came in an 8f stakes race where he closed from 10th of 11 and rallied to finish 3rd beaten 1 1/4 length earning a 93 speed rating for the effort. He will be cutting back in distance here back to sprints where he has 3 wins and 1 third in 4 starts (100% ITM) but he will be seeking his first stakes victory and he will have to do so against graded company. He has improving speed numbers and I think he will relish the cutback to one turn. In the Mix.

2. Mr Sweet Pat

Owner:lucia18

3 year old stakes winner by Mr Speaker has record of 3 wins and 2 seconds in 7 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $175,000. His best career performance came in 6f local bred stakes race where he went gate to wire to win by 1 length over a field of 11 earning a 94 speed rating for his second career stakes victory. Consistent colt has hit the board on 5 of 7(71%) in his career and he has shown versatility winning both on the lead and off the pace. This is a definite class test as he has done his best running against local restricted company but he appears to be up to the task. In the Mix

3.Marbury V Madison

Owner:kingsbest

3 year old Grade Three winning colt by Constitution has a record of 4 wins and 1 second in 8 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $250,000. His best career performance came in the 6f Gr.3 The Manor of Bashford where he led every step of the way and held on by a neck to beat a field of 11 earning him an 84 speed rating in what would be his 3rd consecutive victory to start his career. He would finish 4th in the Gr.1 Breeder’s Bowl Juvenile Sprint in his last start sprinting before stretching out around two turns in his last two. He has not won in his last 3 but he has improved his speed ratings and he looks like the class of field. Top Pick

4.Perky Leash

Owner:ewcholding

3 year old stakes winning colt by Good Magic has a record of 4 wins, 1 second, and 2 thirds in 9 career starts with lifetime earnings approaching $175,000. His best career performance came in a 5.5f stakes race where he stalked the pace and pounced from mid pack to prevail by 1/2 length over a field of 7 earning an 89 speed rating for his 2nd straight stakes win. He would go on to finish off the board in his next two races, both in graded stakes. Talented runner has tactical speed and consistency having hit the board in 7 of 9(79%) of his races but he has to show he can compete against graded stakes level competition. Contender

5.Furburger

Owner:hansg

3 year old stakes winning filly by Flightline has a record of 5 wins ,3 seconds, and 1 third in 13 career starts with lifetime earnings of nearly $250,000. Her best career performance came in an 8f stakes race where she closed from mid pack and fought to win by nose over a field of 9 earning an 88 speed rating in for her lone stakes victory. She will be cutting back in distance where she is a 6 for 6(100%) in the money but she is still seeking her first stakes win around one turn and first graded stakes victory. Talented runner is the only filly in the race but she is also one of the most experienced with 13 starts and she has beaten the boys before. In the Mix.

6. When Dubs Cry

Owner:funster

3 year old gelding by Dubawi has a record of 1 win in 5 career starts with lifetime earnings of nearly $25,000. His best career performance came in a 4.5f maiden allowance on turf where he closed from near the back of the pack in a field of 10 and cruised to a 1 length victory earning an 84 speed rating. He followed that up with an off the board finish in his stakes debut last time out. He will be making his dirt debut and graded stakes debut and he will need to take a major step forward on the surface switch if he is going to factor at all here. Well bred horse may have a bright future but I don’t believe this is the ideal spot for him.

7. King Fire Line

Owner:hotraces

3 year old stakes winning colt by Firing Line has a record of 5 wins and 1 second in 7 career starts with lifetime earnings of nearly $225,000. His best career performance came last time out in a 6f stakes race where he sat mid pack and stormed home to a 2 3/4 length win over a field of 7 equalling a career best 100 speed rating. Talented and consistent colt has been in the exacta in 6 of 7(86%) of his races and he has improved his speed ratings in each start. He makes his graded stakes debut here but he comes off a career best performance and looks primed for another big effort. Contender

8. Cute Music

Owner:teamasr11

3 year old colt by Maclean’s Music has a record of 1 win, 2 seconds, and 3 thirds in 7 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $50,000. His best career performance came in a 6.5f allowance race where he he closed from.last and dominated a compact field of 4 by 8 lengths earning a career high 88 speed rating for the win. He followed that up with a 3rd in a 5f stakes race last time out. He will be stepping up into graded stakes company for the first time while still in search of his first stakes victory. He will need to take a big step forward if he wants to make some noise here. In the Mix

9. Wild Shake

Owner:gowild

3 year old stakes winning gelding by Lawman has a record of 7 wins and 3 thirds in 13 career starts with lifetime earnings approaching $450,000. His best career effort came last time out in a 5.5f stakes race on turf where he set the early pace and held on to win by a head over a field of 5 earning a 96 speed rating for the win. Gelding comes into this race tied for most career starts with 13 and with the most wins in the race with 7 including a stakes win at this distance and stakes wins on both dirt and turf. Speedy type will be on or near the early pace and he will hope to be there with a chance at the end of what will be his graded stakes debut. Contender

10. Not A Show

Owner:desjettex6

3 year old colt by Showcasing has a record of 3 wins and 2 thirds in 8 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $175,000. His most notable career performance came last time out in the 6f Gr.1 Blackout Stakes where he attended the early pace, challenged for the lead at the top of the stretch and held on to finish 3rd beaten 2 lengths and earning a career best 96 in his 2nd start on dirt. He is graded placed on both turf and dirt but despite his breeding he may be a touch better on the main track. He has shown the ability to be competitive against some of the best sprinters of his class and with the right trip he should compete again here. Contender

11. Kash Boxes

Owner:oxymornkash

3 year old stakes winning son of No Nay Never has a record of 4 wins and 2 thirds in 8 career starts with lifetime earnings approaching $175,000. His best career performance came two starts back in a 6.5f turf stakes where he stalked the pace and pulled away to win by 1 length over a field of 7 earning a career best 100 speed rating for the victory. He stretched out around two turns and switched to dirt both for the first time last out and finished a solid 4th. Versatile runner has hit the board in 6 of 8(75%) including 3 stakes placings in 4 starts. He will be cutting back in distance but stepping up into graded competition here. Contender

12.Fed Kash

Owner:roxynken2

3 year old colt by Fed Biz has a record of 3 wins and 2 seconds in 6 career starts with over $125,000 in lifetime earnings. His best career performance came last time out in an 8f allowance race where he closed from last in a compact field of 4 to win by 1/4 length earning a career best 97 speed rating for the victory. Consistent colt has hit the board in 5 of 6(83%) of his starts including 3 of 4(75%) in sprints. He will be making his stakes debut and he will do so against graded stakes company but he is in good form and appears ready to make the jump. His versatile running style should help in a race heavy with speed. In the Mix

13.Abstracted Zapper

Owner:sportoking

3 year old stakes winner by Abstraction has a record of 3 wins, 1 second, and 2 thirds in 11 career starts with lifetime earnings north of $125,000. His best career performance came in a 7.5f stakes race where he closed from last and rallied home to win by a head over a field of 9 tying a career best 96 speed rating for the win. He followed that effort with a closing 4th in the Gr.2 7f The Saint Vincent last time out. Closing sprinter has a nice finishing kick and he should have a solid early pace to run into, with the right trip he should be rolling late. My only concern is if this is too short for him against this quality but I believe race flow will help. Contender

14. Points Or Credits

Owner:komickash

3 year old colt by Darci Brahma has a record of 2 wins, 2 seconds, and 1 third in 6 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $50,000. His best career performance came last time out in a 9f stakes race where he closed from mid pack in field of 8 and rallied to finish 2nd beaten just 3/4 length and earning a career best 98 speed rating in his stakes debut . Consistent colt has been in the money in 5 of 6(83%) of his races with only off the board finish coming in his last sprint attempt. He will be cutting back from 9f and stepping up against graded competition for the first time. He looks to be coming late if he can keep up early. In the Mix.
