style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner bobrba1 hopes that a switch from the dirt to the grass will do this girl wonders.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This <st1:State w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">New York<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> bred started her career off in her home state where she finished 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> in an fillies only maiden special weight running a speed figure of 66.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She came back to the maiden ranks on the dirt about a month and a half later and won at odds of 8\/1 with a speed figure of only a 69.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will hope the change of surface will be to her liking and she will improve that speed figure at least ten points to have a shot. <\/P><P

yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner mickbriant hopes that she continues to like the surface change we saw last time out.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her first ever race, this girl ran on the dirt and faltered in a maiden special weight running a disappointing 52 speed figure.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not giving up hope, she switched the surfaces and entered another maiden special weight, this time on the firm turf where her speed figure improved a giant 26 SP and she led coast to coast to win the race with a speed figure of 78.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will look to make it two in a row toady, and make a statement that she is here to stay.<\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=MsoNormal><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P

(Dansili X Dynaformer X Kingmambo) <\/B>is the second favorite in today\u2019s race at odds of 8\/5.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Why shouldn\u2019t she be though as she has proven herself in both career races she has ran in.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her first race was against a near full field of twelve in a maiden special weight where she came roaring back from fifth to take the field by \u00be of a length.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She also ran a speed figure of 70.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was not to disappoint in the following race though as she improved upon that speed figure after about a month and a half layoff.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Running a 71 speed figure she took on a field of five in a listed stakes and won that to by 1 \u00bd lengths.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will be looking to make it three for three in her career today as well as improving speed figure numbers.<\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=MsoNormal><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight:

into the race with odds of 7\/5.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has conquered every field she has been in but one.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her first race was wound up being the only second place finish she has had as she lost the race at the wire by \u00bc of a length.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Since that February day she has raced three times finishing first in all three races.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A coast to coast win in a maiden special weight where she ran a 74 speed figure, was followed by a race where she came back from third to take a listed stakes field with a speed figure of 80.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last time out she improved on her speed figure taking another full field of 14 down while leading coast to coast and running a speed figure of 85.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"

style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Wild Concept, (Wild Rush X Persian Bold X Current Concept)<\/B> will round out today\u2019s field coming into the race with odds of 7\/1.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has just one career race under her saddle, but she showed that she can win as she led coast to coast and took a field of eight maidens by surprise and won at odds of 15\/1.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her speed figure in that race was a good first speed of 78.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She hopes to continue that same success here today as she takes on four other ladies, all of which are a little better tested and have a little better pedigree.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Saying she has no shot at winning though is laughable as this girl has shown she can find her way to the winners circle at odds way above the favorite.<\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=MsoNormal><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=MsoNormal>This looks to be an entertaining field, even with the short numbers.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think that just about every one of these five ladies has a chance to take the win and the prize money in today\u2019s race.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If I had to choose the favorite I would say Neandra takes the field and wins by a lenth over Macadamia.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I want to thank you for reading this prerace article.<SPAN
