Massachusetts<\/STRONG>–\u00a0\u00a0 Grade 1 Winner and Breeders Bowl starter Nob Hill<\/STRONG> commands 8\/5 favorite status in this week’s rich Massachusetts feature:\u00a0\u00a0 the $80,000 Jess Shark Special<\/EM> for sophomore turf fillies.\u00a0 Five other females will try to upset the heavily credentialed fave.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

As her final Breeders Bowl prep last autumn, novanora’s Nob Hill convincingly bagged the Grade 1 G.S.R. Stakes<\/EM> for\u00a0turf freshmen fillies.\u00a0 The Miesque’s Son daughter graced that Longchamp mile in 1:37 flat, slow but pretty standard amongst the starlets last year.\u00a0\u00a0 Alas, Nob Hill ran a clinker in the BB Juvy Turf Filly<\/EM> and wasn’t really good either in two subsequent outings.\u00a0 The filly did finish 2005 winning 4 of 8 starts, with over $440,000 in the bank.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

Top jockey Silvio Blade is off to a great start in ’06 and he gets the call to pilot Nob Hill from post 4.\u00a0 He’ll have to shake the filly awake and beat five other gals over a\u00a0grassy mile — all have roughly the same 75-85 SP#s:<\/FONT><\/DIV>
  • Ajr14’s Cryin’ Shame(IRE) <\/STRONG>(7\/1) breaks from the rail.\u00a0\u00a0 A stakes winner last year, the Street Cry(IRE) daughter\u00a0struggled home dead\u00a0last in the BB Juvy Turf Filly.\u00a0 \u00a0She likes\u00a0to sit near the front and there figures to be a scramble for the pace here.\u00a0\u00a0 Could be a good opportunity for her to finally break the 80 SP# barrier.\u00a0\u00a0 Jockey Gregor Garbaccio off to a hot start.\u00a0 Decent chance for a breakout run if favorite falls.<\/FONT><\/LI>
  • In post 2, plunk’s Fusaitariat <\/STRONG>(2\/1) \u00a0makes her grass debut after going 1 for 4 over the main track.\u00a0\u00a0 the Fuasichi Pegasus royal bred has the green stuff lines with Blushing Groom(FR) as damsire.\u00a0 Speedster showed some flashy speed, stakes-placed LTO.\u00a0 Has ability, good spot to see if she can take to grass.\u00a0 Interesting.\u00a0 No surpise if she upsets.<\/FONT><\/LI>
  • At 13\/1, tonno6’s Spongeslug<\/STRONG> precociously wired a 9f MSW in her first start.\u00a0\u00a0 The bargain bred then weakened badly despite setting a lonesome solo pace in her stakes debut\u00a0over a grassy mile.\u00a0 This field won’t let her\u00a0get away this time around and she comes in here on a short three weeks rest.\u00a0\u00a0Factor for board.<\/FONT><\/LI>
  • Sudden T Winner<\/STRONG> (6\/1) from highc stable breaks from post 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0She’s got a royal bred Kris S. female family, but an obscure sire (Sudden Thunder).\u00a0 Filly was a stakes winner over 6f turf last year and stakes-placed afterwards.\u00a0\u00a0 She makes her route debut\u00a0and will likely join the pace fray.\u00a0 Pedigrees suggests that she’ll enjoy two-turns much beyond a flat mile.\u00a0 Interesting to see how she’ll take to the route…. maybe a board placing could signal better things to come.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/LI>
  • Finally, epcotlen has the best chance of upsetting Nob Hill with his Theatrical(IRE) daughter, Theatrical Fog(IRE)<\/STRONG> (7\/2).\u00a0 The filly broke her maiden in her second try over turf sprints last year and was stakes-placed afterwards.\u00a0\u00a0 After a few decent dirt efforts, she returned to the green stuff to finish competitively over a mile.\u00a0\u00a0 Should shadow fellow closer Nob Hill closely and make a run down the stretch.\u00a0\u00a0Might want more ground though.\u00a0\u00a0 Still, I like her in the place spot and maybe the win too.<\/FONT><\/LI><\/UL>
