Lotta Laughs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talented 5yo out of A.P.Indy and with over a million bucks in career earnings.\u00a0\u00a0 Consistently over the 100 speed ratings in all if races for the last 12 months with a career high speed rating of 118 about this time last year in a G3 race which he won.\u00a0 That was his last win and since then has got a few placings but probably not as successful year as the trainer might have been hoping for.\u00a0 Still a very talented horse here and can certainly take this out (as can most of these) if he has his day.\u00a0 Definitely backable for a place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cavitation<\/strong><\/p>\n

4yo colt out of Sea The Stars (IRE), has produced his own cavitation behind him as he has run some very good races of late.\u00a0 That includes 2 2nd<\/sup> place finishes at G1 level 2 runs back which had followed a string of wins in Graded company including G1 races.\u00a0 Career speed rating high of 119 back in August of this year \u2013 has had a very successful year to date.\u00a0 Coming up to Christmas, he will be wanting to make this another win for the year!\u00a0 Excellent and very good chance here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Royal Spin<\/strong><\/p>\n

In form 2 runs back with a win at G3 level and a speed of 112!\u00a0 Last run out though was a disappointment at G1 level and was found wanting and spinning into oblivion towards the end of that race.\u00a0 A royal spin of course!\u00a0 The thing that Im thinking here is can this 5yo do another royal spin but the other way \u2013 towards the finish line!.\u00a0 Imagine that, a skip a spin and he\u2019s suddenly leading and taking this out.\u00a0 One can only wait and see but like all the others has proven he can run at this level and speed to win.\u00a0 Back a royal spin the right way and make some money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fantasmagorical<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a fantastic name!!! 3yo colt out of Dynaformer and so is a young baby in this race but makes up for any misgivings there by his name.\u00a0 At 18 to 1 odds, one could be forgiven for thinking this one is a slow horse.\u00a0 Far from that \u2013 his last race was a 112 speed rating and closing for a 2nd<\/sup> place finish at Stakes level over this distance. Race prior was another 2nd<\/sup> place finish at G1 level.\u00a0 Yet to win in graded company and yet is knocking at the door saying let me in my little friends!\u00a0 And let him in will happen very soon with those sort of runs.\u00a0 Worth backing just for the name.\u00a0 Very big chance and could easily surprise here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kepler Cry Cry Cry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another of the more long shot types, and this one is guaranteed to make the punters cry.\u00a0 He has before that\u2019s for sure.\u00a0 4yo out of Street Cry (IRE), stormed into Graded company racing with 2 sensational wins at G1 level which was then followed by a trouncing of the punters with a last place finish last time out in a field of 13 runners.\u00a0 Was nowhere near the leaders unless you call being within 20 lengths close.\u00a0 The difference with his last run was that it was over\u00a0 10 furlongs rather than his previous two races at 8 furlongs.\u00a0 Which is what this race is.\u00a0 Which gives him a good chance to take this out.\u00a0 If he has his form back.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A few if\u2019s here.\u00a0 Can run though.\u00a0 Just be ready to cry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sun Dynasty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Such a good field this and Sun Dynasty is no different.\u00a0 Some very good racing of late including last time out win over 8 furlongs\u00a0 in the G1 Breeders Bowl Mile and a speed of 116.\u00a0 Backing of that should be favourite here and that\u2019s exactly what he is.\u00a0 Well equal favourite anyway with Cavitation.\u00a0 The other point of note is that this 3yo racing career is 11 runs for 8 wins and 3 2nd<\/sup> place finishes.\u00a0 That right \u2013 has never finished worse than 2nd<\/sup> place.\u00a0 How about having this one in your barn!!!\u00a0 On that note looks the goods for a win really.\u00a0 Pure talent here. And speed!\u00a0 My pick for today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wildcat Waltz<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the moment he was born he was destined to party.\u00a0 Not only because of his name which in itself gave him something to live up to, something to live and breathe wherever he was but also because of his immense partying which is now a given after every win he gets on the track.\u00a0 And with 9 wins now in 15 races those parties are just getting bigger, wilder and crazier than ever.\u00a0 Specially the parties which come after a graded stakes win.\u00a0 Which is whats happened in his last 2 races.\u00a0 Win at G2 and G3 level. Now he wants to make today a G1 win.\u00a0 Go for it my friend \u2013 I\u2019ll be at the party for sure!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Danedream<\/strong><\/p>\n

9 wins out of 14 runs but still yet to get the G1 win.\u00a0 Plenty in graded company though including wins at both levels, G2 and G3.\u00a0 Out of Danehill Dancer (IRE), is very well bred and has an extremely nice career already as a 3yo.\u00a0 The question is can he go from his dreams of winning a G1 and make it into a reality on the track today. I think he can if he puts his mind to it, has a little bit of luck and throws some cash the right way before the race J.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not that I would ever really propose that. Of course!\u00a0 Probably has a 50\/50 chance of winning in this field but not a long shot by any means.\u00a0 Should run well and be just behind placings is my guess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outback Andy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outback Andy is the oldest horse in this race which makes him the wisest out of this lot.\u00a0 Can he win though?\u00a0 Has been running reasonably well and the 8 furlongs is certainly his distance.\u00a0 Of late each time he has been thrown up to the G1 he hasn\u2019t been able to dominate it.\u00a0 The trainer has wisely put him back to Allowance racing and he wins. \u00a0So that\u2019s pretty where we are at here.\u00a0 Probably getting a bit old now however could still very much surprise.\u00a0 Knows what winning at G1 level is all about.\u00a0 Experienced, wiser \u2013 just needs to make his legs go a tad faster one more time!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pure Agony<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I experience each time one of my horses run.\u00a0 Absolute pure agony at not winning.\u00a0 I have nothing even approaching the class of these!\u00a0 This one though has given anything but pure agony to his trainer.\u00a0 Winning consistently at stakes and graded level including G2\u00a0 but yet to see a win at G1 level.\u00a0 Very much in form though coming off 2 G2 wins.\u00a0\u00a0 A little step back in pace from some of these but has been building well with each race he runs.\u00a0 Probably considered a longshot but not as long as some in other races which are considered longshots.\u00a0 And THAT probably didn\u2019t make sense but I refuse to amend or remove it.\u00a0 Read at your will!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Middle Name Danger<\/strong><\/p>\n

And so we see the first of 2 horses that I will be naturally biased too considering that they are Australian sired horses. This 4yo colt out of the famous Redoute\u2019s Choice (AUS) is well bred with Kingmambo and Sadler\u2019s Wells in his lineage.\u00a0 Well presented and fast but I think he is really looking for longer than what is on offer here today.\u00a0 Has come close a few times over 8 furlongs but has always been closing fast but falling short.\u00a0 Would have a better chance in my opinion if this was over 9 or 10 furlongs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sushi Sushi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also out of ReDoute\u2019s Choice (AUS), he is the longshot of this field.\u00a0 Bit of a cult following now with the crowd chanting Sushi Sushi at the same time as eating sushi as he parades pre-race.\u00a0\u00a0 Which sometimes becomes a problem as what happened 2 races ago with an older lady was carted off in the ambulance after choking on her sushi and missing his run in third place.\u00a0 A 3yo colt, came close 2 runs back in a G1 with a third place finish but was then well outclassed in the Breeders Bowl mile finishing well back from the leader.\u00a0 Is showing some promise though and the trainer is keen to give him another chance at this level and this distance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forces Of Nature<\/strong><\/p>\n

3yo out of Ghostzapper.\u00a0 Looks fast. Looks strong. Looks talented.\u00a0\u00a0 Has only had the one race in Graded company and that was a G1 last time out with a fast finishing 2nd<\/sup> place over 8 furlongs.\u00a0 One of the outer fancied runners on the tote but looks better than what that suggests.\u00a0 Not a lot of experience at this level but has been well trained and looks like he could challenge again here.\u00a0 Certainly looks like he has the speed and talent.\u00a0\u00a0 One that could really surprise everyone including the runners in this field.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pain in the Mambo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out of Lemon Drop Kid which immediately gives some credence to the aptly named Pain in the Mambo!\u00a0 Has been largely successful and competitive in Graded company but just looks a little step behind in speed to a lot of this field.\u00a0 Which might suggest the 15\/1 odds however has placed previously in G3 and G2 and could well run a good race here too.\u00a0 Something the trainer desperately wants too I would suggest.\u00a0 \u00a0Looked like he wanted more distance 2 runs back but then when given it couldn\u2019t press on for the line.\u00a0 Might be a touch out of his class here but we shall see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
