Victoria-<\/B>Thirteen three year old fillies will go to the post in the $500,000 DUR Victorian Oaks.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This race is the final leg of the DUR Triple Tiara and the eventual winner will have to successfully navigate twelve furlongs, over a firm turf course, against some stiff competition.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The favorite is Usoz\u2019s<\/I> La Pata Daisy <\/B>at 7\/2; however the favorite may not be such a sure thing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As always Official Hong Kong Track Handicapper, Pete \u2018The Hatchet\u2019 Wang will attempt to sort out who has the best chance to hit the board.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last week he gave out a nice flat 7-2 winner so disregard at your peril.<\/P> PP1, Lodog20\u2019s <\/I>Star Indy<\/B>(10-1, Boyd).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cThis could be a very interesting race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There might be some interesting plot twists that are not necessarily apparent at first glance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Take our first entrant.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This daughter of Star Trace is an early speed type that is still 2x eligible.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Best speed rating in last eight races is a 93 that came two starts ago in the Grade One St.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>John\u2019s, a race the favorite won.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In that race she led into the stretch before she faded to fifth.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Of her recent races she hasn\u2019t been able to finish a race, generally stopping in the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last win came in week 2468.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sometimes in this game stretching out further has a positive effect.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Perhaps this filly is one that can move up as she stretches out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A good investment if you think that such improvement will occur, especially where she might be the only proven early speed horse in the race.\u201d<\/P> PP2, Usoz\u2019s <\/I>\u00a0<\/SPAN>La Pata Daisy<\/B>(7-2, Evans).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cDaughter of Sadler\u2019s Wells is an obvious filly of the year candidate. She has won eight of sixteen and has earned over $2.1 million dollars.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has only been out of the money once in her career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has five Grade 1\u2019s and a Grade 2 win this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last start was two weeks ago in the BB Turf Distaff and finished seventh.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>No disgrace in losing that race as that field was tremendous.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That race was also her debut against older horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In this race she returns to her division and races at her best distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has never lost at this distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Best speed rating at the distance is a 99. Biggest worry is the short rest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If she pointed for this race after the BB then all is well and good and she will probably win this race, but if it is a groggy to sharp cycle then she could be vulnerable.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019ll use her top and bottom, but I\u2019ll probably include another on top, because of the possibility of the groggy to sharp cycle underperformance.\u201d<\/P> PP3 Bikeboy\u2019s <\/I>Runnin\u2019 Succubus<\/B>(18-1, Nightingale).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cDaughter of Atticus has two nice runs at the distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the first effort she closed and won with a 92 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The second time she tried the distance she led early and finished second with an 84 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has yet to win a stake, but she\u2019s constantly improving.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Will be competitive in this race and if you have extra money, use her under.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>When this filly switches back to a twelve furlong dirt race, I believe a huge betting coup waits.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019ll put her on my horses to watch for list.\u201d<\/P> PP4, Lenny11\u2019s <\/I>Lady Sadler<\/B>(8-1, Valley).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cThis filly has been floating around in the allowance world in her last five tries with some decent accomplishments.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Long ago, in week 2510 she tried this distance and was a dull fourth with an 81 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Closer has recently raced in a couple of eleven furlong affairs and had a bit more success, winning one with a 91 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Maturing filly should run better then her last foray at twelve furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>How much better is the question?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If you think she can put up a 100 speed rating, then put her in your exotics.\u201d<\/P> PP5, Simsters6\u2019s <\/I>Undercover Angel<\/B>(20-1, Edwards).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cThis filly has no recent turf form to consider.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s matured greatly since the last time she raced on the sod.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Daughter of PP6, Airbiscuit\u2019s <\/I>Rock River Quest<\/B>(12-1, Fagan).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cThis is my Tsing Tao longshot selection.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rock River Quest is a perfect three for three at the distance, including a stake score that saw her put up a competitive 96 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds are juicy because of her last race, a stake that she won with an 85 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sure, this is her graded debut, but if she can handle that then she is a very square price.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Use this daughter of Rainbow Quest top and bottom in the exotics.\u201d<\/P> PP7, ksparrow11\u2019s <\/I>Bonersaur<\/B>(6-1, Kohlmorgen).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cSixth ranked in the Division, this daughter of Sadler\u2019s Wells is eight of twenty-five lifetime and has earned over $670,000.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was second to the favorite in PP8, Fourhooves <\/I> PP9, Springapp\u2019s <\/I>Zaspirit(Nz)<\/B>(14-1, Raymond).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cMakes her third start of a lay-off.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Daughter of Zabeel ran well early in the three year old season but hasn\u2019t been the same filly in recent races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Perhaps she can regain her old form in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was 4th<\/SUP> in the first leg of this Triple Tiara that was held in week 2454.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Is Grade I placed.\u201d<\/P> PP10, Pygmalion\u2019s <\/I>Publik Enemy<\/B>(9-1, McMillan).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is a rapidly improving filly that is making her eleventh start.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Daughter of Rainbow Quest is a stake winner and has posted a 95 at the distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This race marks her graded debut and she could be a filly that needs to be such a race before she has success in such a race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019ll use her under this time, but probably use her on top the next time she races in a graded.\u201d<\/P> PP11, Earlyspeed\u2019s <\/I>Gone Off Sake<\/B>(8-1, Hartel).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cSixteenth ranked in the division, this daughter of Sakhee is four of twelve in her career and has earned over $249,000.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last race was her first start since week 2559 so expect a sharp effort today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Was the winner of the second leg of the Triple Tiara with a 98 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m going to use this closer top and bottom in my exotics because if she\u2019s sharp she has the talent to upset this field and trigger a nice payout, especially if La Pata Daisy is in a groggy to sharp form.\u201d<\/P> PP12, Elesto\u2019s <\/I>Cat Rena<\/B>(32-1, Johnson).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cBeautifully bred 1x in deep.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This filly is making only her seventh start and her second route race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Don\u2019t know what to expect, but I love her breeding lines.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She goes PP13, Princeton\u2019s <\/I>Princeton Bound<\/B>(12-1, Benoit).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cThis filly has a stake win at twelve furlongs and has only been out of the money once when racing on the turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her best speed ratings have come at ten furlongs, so I think the race is a bit too long for her. Race is graded debut.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not without a shot, but too many questions need to be answered before I can recommend using.\u201d<\/P> Until next time, may the racing Gods favor you. <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Twelve foes look to stop her from winning her sixth G1 of year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":415,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/415"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
