A wide and varied field ranging from 3 yr old fillies to 9 yr old horses will tangle in the <\/SPAN>Cavalcade Cup Sprint<\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/I> on Saturday. The horses by post position: PP 1 \u2013 Road To The <\/SPAN> Squirrel<\/SPAN><\/I>\u2019s entry in the sprint looks like he may be a little bit overmatched here, though he is a solid sprinter. His speed figs are consistently a bit slower than many of the competitors in this race, but stranger things have happened. Not helping is this is Road\u2019s first foray into Stakes competition. But two of his lifetime best speeds were in\u00a0 <\/SPAN>his last two races, so we\u2019ve probably not yet seen the best this guy will give. PP 2 \u2013 Roaring Apex <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Roar x Topsider) 40\/1 Similar prognosis for this purfectpal <\/I>trainee, in that the speeds he\u2019s shown so far probably won\u2019t hold up in this company. One difference though, is that Roaring Apex has raced in higher class races, having racked up a nice 3rd<\/SUP> in an ungraded stakes race 4 back. He seems to like his distances a bit closer to a mile though. If he\u2019s on his game, he may go out with the leaders for as long as he can. Probably not a check for this guy this week though. PP 3 \u2013 Western Wonder <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Three Wonders x Gone West) 10\/1 Another one who seems to prefer just a bit further than 6 furlongs, this murray1 <\/I>charge has the ability to run with these on his best day. His form\u2019s been off a bit of late, his last two races, at this exact distance, generating a 2nd<\/SUP> in an allowance, and a 10th<\/SUP> in an ungraded stakes race, but the 10th<\/SUP> was just 4 \u00bd\u00a0 <\/SPAN>back of the winner. Those races put up a 94 and 95 speed figs respectively. This guy\u2019s a stalker, and with his best race can definitely be a factor. PP 4 \u2013 Ohtobeastar <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Gone West x Unbridled) 6\/1 N2racing <\/SPAN><\/I>brings the favorite in, and may have him primed for the lion\u2019s share of the purse in this one. He\u2019s consistent in hitting the board (5 of his last 7 ITM), consistent on his speed figs (last 4 in triple digits), and a hard-hitting closer to boot. The questions are in current class (only 3 of his 12 races this year have been above allowance class, and all three of those were in ungraded stakes, where he\u2019s got a 3rd<\/SUP>, an 8th<\/SUP>, and a 4th<\/SUP>),\u00a0 <\/SPAN>and the distance. This closer seems to prefer about a furlong farther. If he can make that move on time, he might just run past everyone here. PP 5 \u2013 Zysoviet <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Soviet Star x Palatable) 17\/1 An intriguing horse in this one, if for no other reason than the odds. This 3 yr old seems to be improving each time out, and is picking a great time to peak his form. The big question here again is the class, as he\u2019s run almost exclusively in allowance company. But his improving speeds are a nice sign pointing towards a lot of value, especially in exotics.He\u2019s a nice tight stalker that shouldn\u2019t let anyone in this race get the lead too far out. With a good pace, this zyro <\/I>trainee has a good shot. PP 6 \u2013 Cheesy Wrangler <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Proper Reality x Caveat) 19\/1 This 9 yr old is still throwing some heat, running consistently in the 90s. Problem is, that probably won\u2019t be enough to win here, but he\u2019ll still give his trainer at the kobras <\/I>stable an honest effort every time. He may not be John Henry, but he sure is a tough old bird. PP 7 \u2013 Archie <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Arch x <\/SPAN><\/I> A veteran from the dawgpound <\/I>stables (40 lifetime starts), Archie is another one who will give solid efforts virtually every time, but while he hovers close to 100 speed figs, it probably won\u2019t be enough here. He\u2019s been doing most of his damage recently in allowance class, and a handful in this race will be tougher than he\u2019s raced against in a long time. On the upside, he loves this distance, and he likes the lead. PP 8 \u2013 Deposit Jose <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Two Punch x Academy Award) 16\/1 Coming back to his preferred distance of 6 furlongs will definitely help, but this 7 year old from the good<\/I> stables will still have his work cut out for him. If he can run back to where he was at this time last year (110+ speeds), he\u2019ll leave the competition in the dust. But the glory days might be gone for this guy. Only time will tell. PP 9 \u2013 Gilded General <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Gilded Time x General Assembly) 8\/1 Here\u2019s a nicely priced consistent campaigner that has a very real shot at this race. He\u2019s raced at the 101-108 level his last 7 times out, in both allowance and stakes races. He likes this distance (although he\u2019d probably prefer a half furlong more). If this stalker from the tbird <\/I>stables can fire on time, he\u2019s a huge contender here. The pace will be a big factor for this guy. PP 10 \u2013 Cookie Man <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Twilight Agenda x Criminal Type) 23\/1 Cgk <\/SPAN><\/I>stables brings another who\u2019s been dancing mostly with allowance types recently, and one who seems to like it better out to a mile or so. Probably a bit outclassed here, but will be interesting to see if he presses the pace. Being a solid miler, he may be able to hold that pace. PP 11 \u2013 Slammin\u2019 Sammy <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Spinning World x Mr. Prospector) 10\/1 Depends on which Slammin Sammy shows up Saturday, the one who wired an allowance field with a 103 speed fig LTO, or the one who didn\u2019t beat a horse in the Grade III field the time out before that. But that said, even the best from this dadepark<\/I> colt might not be good enough for a win here. His best may well be good enough to cash a check though. Will be another who will probably challenge for the early lead. PP 12 \u2013 Pursuer T <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(King Cugat x Not For Love) 9\/1 Form is the only real issue for this 4 yr old. If he runs back to his form 6 and 7 races ago, he has the ability to win here. Lately though, he\u2019s been anywhere from 94 \u2013 102, with 7th<\/SUP> and 11th<\/SUP> place finishes his last two times out. A stalker who can press the pace, he\u2019ll need his best here. PP 13 \u2013 Le Zagaletta <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Gone West x Green Desert) 8\/1 This phantom2 <\/I>horse looks a lot like an older-horse version of Zysoviet. Nicely improving in form and speed, with the same liabilities: Doing it mostly against allowance company. Le Zagaletta is a speed first, last, and middle, as opposed to the stalking\/closing of Zysoviet. If he can get away from this group early enough (not likely, but possible), he has a very real shot at wiring this field. PP 14 \u2013 Serpentine Jay <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Mia\u2019s Boy x Triocala) 17\/1 Another purfectpal<\/I> horse, this 7 year old runs best at or near the lead, and he also prefers closer to a mile in distance. Will he be a rabbit for his stablemate? Either way, he looks a bit overmatched with several of these horses. PP 15 \u2013 The Storyteller <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(<\/SPAN><\/I> This 3 yr old from the wistful3 <\/I>barn has an impressive 9 of 12 ITM, but the speed figs, the classes of races, and his age suggest he will need a big improvement to cash a check here, but he\u2019s a relative youngster, and certainly eligible for improvement. PP 16 \u2013 Appealing <\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(Louis Quatorze x Valid Appeal) 15\/1 One of two fillies in this race, this gal from the jumpinjack<\/I> barn doesn\u2019t figure to have the raw speed to run with some of these boys. She\u2019s a good solid filly, but she seems to top out at about 100, except for a 108 7 races back. She won\u2019t finish last, but probably won\u2019t cash a check either.
