The The horse to beat is Speedzone1<\/I>\u2019s The Aus Boss<\/B> and good on him for breeding such a superb mare by an Aussie sire, Danehill\u2019s son Nothin Leica Dane.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has won 8 of ten starts, including all five turf efforts and three G1s this\u00a0 <\/SPAN>year alone.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She fell a bit flat in her last outing, though fourth in a G1 would be a great race for most, but that was on the dirt and she\u2019s switching back to the grass here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That should cheer her up and perhaps give her a bit of a boost.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ace jock Z Kentucky is expected to hold her just off the early lead and take over at the top of the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Expect her to be very tough to outrun at 9\/2.<\/P> Heading back to the inside post, we see It\u2019salock<\/I>\u2019s I Can Hear You<\/B>, currently sitting at 7\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This mare seems to specialize in Bezza14<\/I>\u2019s Hey Bezza <\/B>is our longest shot at 18\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Though she\u2019s capable of getting a piece in a graded race, she\u2019s only managed a 3-digit speed fig once this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That\u2019s just not going to cut it.<\/P> Lil Cindy Slew Who <\/B>(Theprofit6<\/I> at 8\/1) gets my vote for cleverest name in the field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Generally a sprinter, she\u2019s been in a slump her last few races and it looks like her connections are trying to shake things up a bit by routing her. She scored third in an ungraded turf route last time out, but she\u2019ll need to really step it up to be a factor here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P> Ossstables <\/I>is sending 16\/1 PJ Seven Seas<\/B> to the gate.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s been on the board in 9 of 10 turf routes, but this is a good step up from the ungraded stakes she\u2019s done so well in.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019ll also find herself in a bigger field than she\u2019s used to.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019ll need to run her absolute best to get a piece, but don\u2019t write off a mare this consistent.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>At this price, she\u2019s worth a second look.<\/P> Godmother<\/I>\u2019s Beautiful Buda<\/B> has run beautifully indeed in her last two races, hitting the board in graded company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She likes to run at or near the front, where she will have a lot of company, but she\u2019s found a terrific jock in E C Doyle who should help keep her out of trouble.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s been absolutely terrific lately and I think she has a very good shot at hittin the board this weekend.<\/P> Arion<\/I>\u2019s Marie <\/B>is a Grade 1 winner who has won half of her 20 turf starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So why is she at 12\/1?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Unfortunately, it\u2019s because she\u2019s totally fallen apart since her dominating win in the G1 Princess Di.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This mare\u2019s really a heartbreaker — she was among the best and has inexplicably taken a nose dive ever since.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s shortening up just a bit here from the longer races she\u2019s been running \u2013 her connections can only hope that will perk her up a bit.<\/P> Graywolf<\/I>\u2019s Never Get Married<\/B> has shown herself to be a very talented allowance horse, but hasn\u2019t shown the talent to compete with the graded girls.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Probably not her best spot to shine.<\/P> Next spot goes to The Aus Boss<\/B>, who we\u2019ve already talked about, so\u2026..next!<\/P> Sadfly\u2019s Dubai<\/B> is an a groove these days, winning 4 of her last 5, including a G3 score.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s versatile enough to come from several lengths back or go right to the front, though in this race the former would probably be smarter.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But, uh-oh,\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u201cPutrid\u201d Jetter is going to be in the irons and that 1% win rate isn\u2019t encouraging anyone.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019d need a strong race in a field this strong and I doubt Jetter can get it out of her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If she can ignore him, though, she might get up for a piece.<\/P> Buxpasser<\/I> is sending Tippytoe Toni G<\/B> to the post, but 17 \/1 is probably even a little generous for her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She hasn\u2019t done much winning of late, even in allowance company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To give her credit, she ran a nice race and came close last time out, but that was an allowance and she was still third best.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Just outclassed here.<\/P> Tresstable<\/I>\u2019s Spice Girl<\/B>, on the other hand, is on fire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s coming off a Grade 3 win and has been running consistently big races. \u00a0<\/SPAN>This is another step up, but she\u2019s acting ready for it.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A Jones is a respectable jockey with an 11% win rate \u2013 don\u2019t consider him either a big positive or negative.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She hasn\u2019t been great in Grade 1s in the past, but she\u2019s got a nice confidence booster behind her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Don\u2019t love that she wants the lead, since there are many others like that here, but she\u2019s got a real chance at hitting the board.<\/P> Buronga Prospector <\/B>will be respresenting Woodsmen<\/I> at 11\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s been a solid contender in ungraded stakes, though she was a disappointing 6th<\/SUP> in her most recent graded effort.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She followed that up with a rough race in ungraded company, so I\u2019m a bit concerned about the direction she\u2019s heading in right now.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s also going to find a lot of company if she tries her usual frontrunning style.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Still, she\u2019s a speedy girl and with a top effort, she could find herself on the board. On the outside will be Madhibby5<\/I>\u2019s unpredictable but talented Rock of Miswaki<\/B>, sitting chilly at 12\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s run some huge races here and there, but is coming off a couple of layoffs as well as an inexplicably dismal race in her last outing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Speedball will have a lot of company on the front end and I think it may just be too much for her after a couple of months off and that lousy last outing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has tons of talent and if she gets it together everyone better beware, but I like this race better as a tuneup for her than as a time to expect her best.<\/P> It\u2019s a field full of talent and while there\u2019s an obvious horse to beat in The Aus Boss<\/B>, there\u2019ll be plenty of opportunity for surprise and fillies ready to take advantage if she should show any weakness.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should be a fun race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>May everyone\u2019s fillies come back safe and sound.
