1 135097 BIG VAN VATER(KY) catfish P Rosportz 8/1

Catfish Stables trained colt by FIRST SAMURAI x FUSAICHI PEGASUS x A.P. INDY beautifully bred colt who is to be ridden by a genius rider. He has raced 16 times for 4 wins and $147,102 in stakes. He has raced over all distances but it is sprint racing where he has most wins. Racing mostly in allowance racing his one stakes raced was a little disappointing.

2 141296 YUNGABURRA(AUS) pekayz N Green 7/1

Pekays Stables trained colt by FLYING SPUR(AUS) x ZABEEL(NZ) x SOVIET STAR 10 starts for 3 wins for this fellow he has raced well in allowance company and now tries his luck at stakes racing on his performances to date and the sp’s he has achieved he has to be right in this finish.

3 31455 PROSERPINE(KY) thebandit O Rann 7/2

Bigkev and Bjbandit Farms trained colt by EL PRADO(IRE) from the grade placed mare VALIANT he has won 5 of 14 to date he loves 6f and ran 107sp for 2^nd 3 starts back and won in 95sp over 6f 2 starts back was running on in stakes company last time out looks right in this.

4 136409 KALGOORLIE(KY) retep S Dahl 5/1

Pekays Stables 2^nd runner this colt is by ORIENTATE from ARGENTINE PROSPECT although why we see him racing on the green stuff again im not sure we can only assume his trainer could not find a suitable dirt race for him because he is far more accomplished on dirt. Still he is a nice horse with a bright future and has won 4 from 11.

5 148999 BEN GRAHAM(IRE) kfitzger F Chute 6/1

Kf Stables trains this colt by AZAMOUR (IRE) x NASKRA x NEVER BEND he has won 4 from 14 and $162,264 in stakes he may now be better suited in 8f or further but he has a sprint record as well and may figure in this finish.

6 53897 ZUIDER ZEE(NZ) oddly B Jungnitsch 7/1

Moose Hollow Farm runner bred to be a good turfer by ZABEEL(NZ) from RAVEN SKY(IRE) he has won 5 from 16 and followed up a good 2yrold season well in his early 3yrold year his last 3 starts have seen him struggle abit and he may do so again here.

7 138196 TAKE A CUT(KY) earthling N Jacke 9/1

ONEWORLD Stables – Established Wk. 634 brings us this colt by FORESTRYx MACHIAVELLIAN x LINES OF POWER he is a very consistent allowance runner in sprint company but has only won 2 races so far he should be safely held here.

8 40399 BFAS(KORE) deuce1 T Mooney 6/1

Lozon Stables colt by EXPLOIT x LORD AT WAR(ARG) x BOLD RUCKUS this colt has a very dirt biased pedigree but he is yet to try that surface having performed so well on turf 3 wins from 18 starts so far and $104,435 in stakes ran 4^th with a 102sp over 6.5f place chance at least in this.

9 142947 JESSICA HAYES(KY) spindoctor F Inzamam 6/1

Fortune500 trained filly by TALE OF THE CAT x MORE THAN READY x GRAUSTARK won 6 from 19 and $172,262 this filly could be the surprise package here she won The CAB WAVERING Challenge-Stk over 6f in a good time and may triumph over the boys here.
