Quay Dancer
A.P. INDY x SEEKING THE GOLD x STORM CAT
Won the grade two Dandelion Sprint. This one sure has plenty of speed in her pedigree. She has not finished worse than third in her last four races with speed figures of 106, 109, 107, and 107. Should stalk not to far off the lead early in this one.
PIVOTAL(GB) x FUSAICHI PEGASUS x SADLER’S WELLS
One of her highlights last year was winning the Dolly Prummond Stakes. That race was a G3. She hasn’t had graded success lately, but she did finish second this year in the Gordie’s Prints Memorial. Her speed figures seem a little soft for this field, but she could still be a factor.
ERENDIRA SWEET
VINDICATION x FUSAICHI PEGASUS x STORM CAT
Has finished in the money in 21 of 23 races. In her last seven raes she has put up speed figures ranging from 104 to 109. She is consistently good at seven and who knows, maybe she explodes at six furlongs.
SEE SOJO RUN
RED RANSOM x A.P. INDY x
This gal has run seven races in allowances with seven straight wins, but not one of those wins resulted in a speed figure over 103. She is lightly raced with just 13 starts. I got to believe that at some point she goes off, simply put she is a time bomb. At some point she is going to win a graded race, and when she does she probably won’t look back. Unless she peaked early of course.
SMOKIN LOIS
SMOKE GLACKEN x EASTERN ECHO x STORM CAT
She is battled tested with 38 career races and over 650k in earnings. She may be on the down of her career at six. She is coming off two allowance victories in a row, and she did win the My Love Buda Stakes last year with an impressive 111 speed figure. She can motor for sure, but can she crank up her big late kick in time to finish in the money in this one.
MINISTER OF HUMOR
DISTORTED HUMOR x DEPUTY MINISTER x SECRETARIAT
She was dominant last year with several major victories that included a Equinics Gold, a grade two win, and two grade three wins. She has over 1.3 million in career earnings. Her speed figures may be down a tad lately on fast dirt, but you can never count her out. She may get the lead early, if not she won’t be far off the leader.
WAKIFUHR
LANGFUHR x MISWAKI x SUNDAY SILENCE
Last year was the last time she ran in a graded race. With only two career graded races she may lack experience, but not results. She is tested in stakes, and she finished second last time she ran a graded race, and in her only graded race before that she ran fifth. That isn’t bad at all, but her speed figures really lag behind the others in this field. She is a stalker who will need to come up big to contend in this one.
SONG GIRL
SADLER’S WELLS x MR. PROSPECTOR x HALO
Finished second in last Decembers grade three Natural Spring Stakes. She is a solid veteran six year old runner with 400k+ in career earnings. Her speed figures range in the 100’s consistently, and she could play a factor in this one. She shouldn’t try for the early lead in this one though, and more than likely will need to stalk to succeed.
DESCRETAION SMILE
UNBRIDLED’S SONG x A.P. INDY x BOLD BIDDER
Finished second last year at Equinics, and won last years grade three Bumble Bee Classic. With over 500k in earnings she is the real deal.
ELEGY
A.P. INDY x FORTY NINER x
She has won three out of her last four races with speeds of 109 and 110 in two of those races. She has a huge finishing kick, and she likes this distance. With her speed and skill, I think she wins this one.
GOOD REWARD x
Won last time out in the Furiously Gamble Stakes with a awesome 109 speed figure. She is really ready to emerge as a big time graded threat possibly. She has shown the speed, now she needs to show the class.
BLACK GOLD COAL
SUMMER SQUALL x ROBERTO x GRAUSTARK
This seven year old chestnut mare has over 580k in career earnings, and has raced just 29 times. At her peak she was a graded monster consistently running 110+ speed figures. I think she likes a little longer, and she has faded a bit lately. At this point in her career she is still capable of running a huge race at any time. Her speed figures have been in the very low 100’s lately however.
FIRE WEST
FIRE SLAM x BRIGHT LAUNCH x GONE WEST
A very nice modestly bred four year old with over 130k in earnings. She is a solid mare, but she is not graded material. She is a very good allowance horse.
