Seven fillies and mares will go at it to try to claim stakes glory for their owner, however only one will succeed. Let\u2019s take a look at the field\u2026.<\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><STRONG>\u00a0<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/STRONG><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Bragg Creek (IRE) <\/B>is the long shot of the field and will jump from the inside gate. A good win last time out although in a lot easier company than this. This 4 year old El Prado filly is capable of much better than what she has shown of late however perhaps a turn out into the paddock for a few weeks is all she\u2019s needing to recharge the batteries. Tough.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Break Da Bank <\/B>hails from the <I>tbonefarms <\/I>sheds and at 5\/1 poses a serious threat here. Ranked 25 in this section she is a more than capable type who has been in great form of late. Will put in a big show and should prove one of the hardest to hold out, this filly has been unlucky at her last couple and is about due for a win.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Nurse Fager<\/B> is a 5 year old mare who had a slight let up last time but previous form suggests she could do big things here. Coming off a stakes win on the dirt just 2 starts back, the Nurse will have been timed to the moment by <I>iceberg <\/I>to put on a big show here. Every chance.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Pleistocene Epoch <\/B>is a 3 year old filly prepared by <I>nextbonus. <\/I>So far a lot have patience has been put into this gal and she has more than returned the favour at allowance level coming off four wins in her last 5 races. She faces a tougher test here stepping up into the stakes arena however the good thing about her is she knows how to put her nose in front when it counts. Can\u2019t knock her at all and at 6\/1 is a huge chance.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Sophisticated Wager <\/B>has drawn gate 5 for this and has a touch of class about her. This Dixieland Band filly has 9 wins to her name and over half a million in career earnings. She rates a top show here and may win on class alone, another with a strong chance. <\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Gone Golfing<\/B> is the favourite at 5\/2 in latest markets but looks to be way too short for my liking. Her form of late is not as great as several starts back and she may find this tough come the weekend. Others look preferred here as far as I can read into it.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Debs Day Job <\/B>may just be the one to knock off. She looks a treat and at 4\/1 is worth a wager. She\u2019s only had the 16 career starts to date and banked just over 70k however she seems to excel when stepping up in class. She\u2019ll enjoy the run here and is every chance of running over the top of them. Promising horse for <I>stevenp.<\/I><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><B><I>Summary: <\/I><\/B>Tough race to pick, <B>Pleistocene Epoch, Debs Day Job and Break Da Bank<\/B> are my top 3.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Close finish awaits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":140,"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-1280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1280","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\/140"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1280\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
