This 5yrold by the mighty STORM CAT from the he-mare ALBERTA INDY he has raced 26 times for 6 wins and $290,831 in stakes at 2yrs he won a mile race The SAL BRIDGE Memorial-Stk in a 90sp. Loves mile racing at 3yrs he won the Craven Stakes-G3 in a 107sp. Mile racing will suit him and he has produced some top runs. Likely leader in here and might take some pulling back.

At 3 yrs won The GREEN BOW Special-Stk 8f 101sp also ran some nice graded places including 2^nd The Moussac-G3 112sp although he has not won this year he has run some top races and another run in the first four looks likely. A closer he will get back and storm home late in stretch.

Doesn’t win out of turn but on his day can foot it with the best of them. Will run in midfield in the race and look for an effort in the stretch.

7 150008 CID CAMPEADOR(KY) bertamiran K Thompson 11/1

Fernando Empire trained 5yrold by ARCH from the top producing SW mare VALDESLEW dam of many GW and SW runners.

Has proved up to this class before and I can’t see why he can’t figure in the finish again.

Sonofaus Stables trained 4yrold bred in the purple UNBRIDLED’S SONG x A.P.

9 144525 MR. JONES(KY) sledge4 F Inzamam 5/1

Sledge4 Stables trained 5yrold by SMARTY JONES x BROAD BRUSH x SAINT BALLADO a mighty 10 wins from 32 starts and $339,330 in earnings. Started 14 times on dirt before his trainer swapped to the green stuff. This is proof that you try all thing with you horses. Four wins in a row resulted and sledge must have bred a sigh of relief and he has gone on from there. Wins include The Hess Mile-G3 113sp two starts ago. Ran 3^RD The Nordic Chemical-G3 8f 115sp those sp’s suggest that a win would not surprise here. Will race on the pace or just behind leaders.

10 160368 EYEDOMINATOR(IRE) early T Mooney 10/1

Big Cheese Racing trained 4yrold by GALILEO (IRE) from the multiple SW GALILEO’S DAUGHTER 32 starts have produced 6 wins and $206,472. He has mixed racing between dirt and turf and the jury is still out on which surface is best although turf races have produced best sp’s. he was a stunning 4^th in the Equinics HISPANO AMERICA GI 8f 110sp storming home from well back. Ran 3^rd The GAL DOG Special-Stk 8f 106sp 8f. Adds to the puzzle when trying to piuck the winner. Races in back of fields in his racing and should drive home in the stretch.

11 185984 PASSIONATE PRAYER(KY) paztwo S Daum 14/1

PazJazz Music City Stables trained 3yrold colt also a blueblood GHOSTZAPPER x SADLER’S WELLS x DEPUTY MINISTER he has raced 14 times to date winning 5 and $146,800 in earnings. Another to mix his racing between dirt and turf. Mostly has raced in allowance company but of late has tried stakes racing and last time out in HONG KONG ran 2^nd The HAIL CESARIO Special-Stk 8f 109sp good numbers for a 3yrold and one for longer odds takers. Will be up with the leaders all the way.

12 180612 GLOSTER METEOR(KY) locomotive GD Mate 19/1

Locomotive Stables trained 3yrold colt by the much sort after sire CURLIN x STORM CAT x SADLER’S WELLS making him one of the top bred runners in the sim. He has raced 12 times for 5 wins and 5 placed runs and $613,540 he had 6 starts as a 2yrold for 3 wins including The BRED TO BLITZ(AUS) Stakes 7.5f 96sp. This years wins include the Fainting Goat Nightmares Stakes-G2 8f 100sp and The Movie Cup-G3 9f 103sp. I think he is under the radar at 19/1 odds and he loves these journeys if your looking to make some big cash put it on this fellow.

13 158069 NASHVILLE CATZ(KY) bl8ntjoker M Shaw 12/1

Bl8ntjoker Stables trained 4yrold is nothing to laugh at by ORIENTATE from HILLTOP HO he has raced 21 times for 5 wins and $129,569 in earnings racing well at this distance mostly in allowance company and has stakes credentials with a 3^rd in The Hamburger Mile-Stk 8f 108sp. Hard to see him measuring up to these here and better suited in allowance company.

14 166789 ZAB DA HUSS(NZ) bmr002 X Saxon 37/1

Bmr005 Stables trained 4yrold by the NZ wonder sire ZABEEL(NZ) x HUSSONET x SIR TRISTRAM(IRE). From 20 starts so far he has won 5 and $133,230 in earnings all his wins so far have been in sprint races and hard to see him getting in the finish here.
