1 CK COLONEL SURGE SKOR 4M ckstables3 R Dowell odds 7/1
COLONEL JOHN x DEEP IMPACT x ZABEEL
Looking to tackle it’s first Graded race and is riding a undefeated 4 yr old campaign (5 wins) out of sire Colonel John (167bps), Has found his distance and drawing the #1 hole can only help this pacesetter.
2 SIELEWI KY 5M plano10 R Truitt odds 6/1
INTO MISCHIEF x A.P. INDY x DEPUTY MINISTER
Ran 7th in this race last year so looks for a bounce back. 1 win in 6 starts (Graded but 1) this season where pulled off a career SP 119 (Gr 3). Just shy of 500k earnings and hoping to achieve it like mom and join an impressive sibling off springs. Has the rest to be a factor here and look for a stalking style.
3 SHAFT GATE KY 4M asrblue N Labreche odds 17/1
MINESHAFT x ARROGATE x DUBAWI (IRE)
Comes in here with 3 wins in 4 starts this season. The blemish (3rd) was at this distance in a Gr 1 and with a stalking style for longer this one will be pressed to catch the field. Plus side is PP is better than last time out with same size field but just can’t see it overcoming the shorter distance (used to 11-13F)
4 POSEIDON CREW KY 4M liam7 P Bangs odds 8/1
TAPIT x DISTORTED HUMOR x HALO
Looks to make it 2w in a row after a Gr 3 career high 116 SP last time out. Has settled in nicely since July since switching to just off/up front running style and here to finally face some Gr 1 competition in his career.
5 DEAD OFFER KY 5G redhill27 D Ledwith odds 6/1
MUNNINGS x AWESOME AGAIN x A.P. INDY
First time Graded runner out of Gr 2 winner GODFATHER OFFER who comes off 2 off track wins so the betting public has some confidence in making him co-favourite. Think the jet lag and pace with be too much for him to overcome.
6 TSAKANI KY 5M spinround Z Hawkz odds 9/1
INTO MISCHIEF x STREET SENSE x TAPIT
Faltered badly last time out 14/14 at this distance and just hasn’t had a good 2025 campaign. Owners must be thinking this will be the one and only time for a Gr 1 start as the decline has been evident. Possible last career start and then off to the breeding shed where we could see offpring here at the Euro Bowl next season?
7 JUSTIFY’S SUMMER KY 7M ddstables5 J Ledwith odds 10/1
JUSTIFY x SUMMER SQUALL x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY
The grandpa of the field that has had a resurgence at 7yr old where owner DDstables transferred over from elkstables and let new handlers work magic with 2 wins and 2 shows in 4 starts this season and coming off its best spds where most drop off.
8 CEARTAIS ARIS KY 5M newastinss T Small odds 6/1
JUSTIFY x AWESOME AGAIN x SADLER’S WELLS
3 win in 4 starts this season and most wins in the field (12). Waiting for the decline but he seems to continue to get stronger SPDS and we’ll see here with his toughest test yet!
9 CREATE WAR JPN 5M lswan B Wu odds 11/1
CREATOR x WAR FRONT x MR. PROSPECTOR
After major success with 5 turf wins and almost 200k earnings, Owner Liam has the stones to switch to dirt where he’s won 3 of 4 starts (2 STKS) where PP doesn’t seem to be a factor for this pacesetter far outside/inside. Grade race debut and all eyes on little guy sire Creator (169 bps) which still has lots in the tank at 5 with only 18 starts.
10 THE SOAKED CLOAK KY 3G given27 Z Edwards odds 25/1
CURLIN x TAPIT x SADLER’S WELLS
Grandson to HOF’er Smiling Knight and 3 wins in 7 starts this campaign. Progressing nicely as a 3 yr old and although in tough here you can never discount Owner Given success, however I see this as a stepping stone for a big 4 yr old campaign.
11 ODISEO KY 3M newmarket10 D Matas odds 41/1
TAPIT x STREET CRY x DANZIG
Jock D. Matas returns for 3rd time a charm in a row? Runs this distance for the first time ever and our other 3 yr old in the field. Started strong this season but was then aggressively steered to the New Yorker and Eddie Haskell where he was (6th/ 7th) and I see the same result here. A positive is he is well rested and been training hard since July so we’ll see?
12 CREATOR OF FUN JPN 4G 00rw A Yauch odds 15/1
CREATOR x PRACTICAL JOKE x EMPIRE MAKER
To think you could have had this one for a 35k claim and he has been ITM 9 of past 11 since then. Makes his Graded debut at a distance that should prove good results even with this PP and a just off pace style that he could benefit from.
13 NAHMI KY 4M eminc3 R Harzheim odds 11/1
NOT THIS TIME x INTO MISCHIEF x TAPIT
2 Stks wins in 3 races at this distance where he has enjoyed career Spds. Never been this far wide PP wise and could be a factor with his pacesetting style. Aside from a Gr 1 & 2 starts (7th & 6th) at 3 yr old he’s been a STKs runner still trying to find his distance and this seems to be where he fits.
14 NO MAP IN HELL KY 4M durcrawf O Hanson odds 10/1
FLIGHTLINE x SEEKING THE GOLD x NIJINSKY 2ND
Only Gr 1 winner here and 6 Gr 1 races experience although little results after his Gr 1 debut win. Primarily a 9-9.5F off track runner this season he did pull out a STKs win last time out at 9.5F. Looking for a top 5 finish here to reach 1M earnings where with a 14 wide PP and stalking style it’s possible.
