Turf stakes events at sprint distances are not common, so any owner of a sprint performer that prefers the turf would want to utilize this opportunities.\u00a0 However, f<\/SPAN>or some of the runners, this race will only serve as a developmental step toward\u00a0becoming\u00a0 a \u201cdistance runner\u201d.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN>The field may be tightly bunched out of the gate, and the pace should be quick.\u00a0 The finish should prove to be exciting and a possibly a bit surprising.<\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

This two times stakes winner (including the Nationwide Gr.I), hopes to get back onto the winning path in this event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A disappointing run in the Breeders Bowl Juvenile Turf<\/I> (Gr.I), was followed by decent but less than sound performance on the DelPenn Champions Day.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His best outings have been when he broke on the lead and was in front entire trip.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has shown some signs of tiring when challenged head to head out of the gate.<\/o:p><\/P>

A nice runner that has been in the money seven of nine trips.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He responded well to a switch to the turf and comes in with one stakes victory under his belt on the turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has shown the ability to lead out of the gate or rally from off the lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/P>

Another serious contender in this race- he likes to pressure the pace and may be on the heels of Northern Chant early on.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He ships in from Delaware<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and ownership is confident that this colt is ready to capture his first stakes trophy.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Another front runner that should create a brisk pace in this turf sprint. \u00a0<\/SPAN>He won a stakes event on the turf at 5.5 furlongs, but the strength of this field and added furlong may be too much.<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Summary:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>All five starters are looking for that performance that will boost them into the next level.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I would disregard the turf influence and expect the pace to be like any sprint event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Northern Chant comes in as the morning line favorite, but should have plenty of company from the outset.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>My selections are:<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
