Ok I told you not to read this and yet here you are!! \u00a0What’s the go? \u00a0Seriously? \u00a0Its like a sign that says “Keep of the Grass” and yet there are more people walking on it than on the pathway. Its like a sign that says “dun tuch – wet painte” and yet everyone seems to think – is it really wet? \u00a0maybe its dried? One thing it is, is extremely poor grammar and spelling!! \u00a0Every know what a mango is? \u00a0I drove past a sign the other day that said “mangoe for sale”. \u00a0Poor spelling. \u00a0Social psychology and experimentation. \u00a0Thats all it is \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Probably a strange introduction to this G2 race hey… \u00a0but it is a super field today. \u00a0A very good field\u00a0for this G2 race.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude0e \u00a0Have I told you I really like this emoticon?\u00a0 \ud83d\ude0e I like it a lot! \u00a0Nothing to do with this race though is it? \u00a0Ok shall we look at the field? \u00a0Say please please\u00a0 \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n
\u00a01 – FILOBEEL<\/strong><\/p>\n 4yo Filly out of Teofilo.\u00a0 This one is already all class and talent and looks a step ahead of the rest of this field.\u00a0 Definitely the distance is no problem and in fact, of her recent runs, the higher grade race she is in the more distance she is wanting! Interesting!\u00a0 Pulling speeds well over 100 and already a classy career behind her this one looks the goods here.\u00a0 Only issue is whether she will have enough distance to pull of the win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2 – BEAUTIFUL SUZY<\/strong><\/p>\n Good form for this Bernardini girl has come only of late with her currently trying to break into the graded levels.\u00a0 Has won at Stakes and also ran a good race in October last year where she finished 2nd<\/sup> in a G3.\u00a0 Coming of age as they say she is starting to ratchet up some good speeds and can certainly trouble here if she performs like that.\u00a0 An outside chance but certainly could surprise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3 \u2013 WHAT YA WANT<\/strong><\/p>\n Looks very good on both dirt and turf tracks but did deliver a very speed rating in an allowance race 2 runs back of 107 for the win.\u00a0 Will need at least that to win here though.\u00a0 This is much harder and she may find this tough.\u00a0 Right on the limit of her distance too I would suggest but that is not to say she can\u2019t make it. She definitely can and should be a good contender here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 – CRAVEN JONES\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Craven Jones hey? CRAVEN JONES HEY??? \u00a0I knew a craven jones once. \u00a0He was a bag of bones. \u00a0But not this 4yo filly. She\u2019s a flying bag of bones \ud83d\ude0e !\u00a0 Very fast of late with some good results on the board and her speed slowly increasing which is a good sign because that is what she will need here today.\u00a0 Going up a bit in class she will find it tough but may well relish the challenge!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5 \u2013 LIFE STORY<\/strong><\/p>\n She has looked very good on dirt and Stakes racing over 6 furlongs of late with some fast closing runs for the win.\u00a0 Out of the successful Curlin, she is stepping up in both class and distance here.\u00a0 No idea on whether the distance is right although looking at her previous runs, she may well be ok with it.\u00a0 In terms of class \u2013 she will probably be a genuine challenger based on some of her speeds she is showing.\u00a0 Real champion in the making.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6 – SCREAMO\u2019S BABY<\/strong><\/p>\n Likes anywhere between the 8 and 10 furlong range and it just so happens that this race is between that!\u00a0 Maybe that\u2019s why the trainer put her in hey?\u00a0 Had a string of good wins in the middle of last year and that was topped off by a fast finishing 6th<\/sup> place in a G2 in October.\u00a0 This will be her first race of 2014 after finishing the year with a win at Allowance level in December.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Time to show whether she can do the Graded level or not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7 -SOUTH OCEAN DRIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n Out of Galileo, yet another nicely bred filly.\u00a0 This race is just full of them but then we are at Graded level racing so that\u2019s probably no surprise either.\u00a0 This one has been very consistent and solid at Allowance level and has stepped up to Stakes\u00a0 with also some good results, that a 2nd<\/sup> place finish 2 runs back. Last race though was at Graded level company and she didn\u2019t really impress at that level.\u00a0 Back today to try again \u2013 will need a much better effort.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8 – CADET SLEW<\/strong><\/p>\n Another who is starting to perform in her last few races is this one which has had a very solid and consistent career so far particularly at Allowance level.\u00a0 A brief foray into a Stakes and G3 race yielded promising results with the G3 finish being in 3rd<\/sup> place and closing.\u00a0 Does fly home with a bang let me tell you and her last outing at Allowance level she flew down the straight and won by over 5 lengths.\u00a0 Lots of closing speed this one \u2013 very exciting \u2013 definitely one of the contenders.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9 \u2013 I\u2019M ON F<\/strong><\/p>\n Good filly and well bred and while she has done much of her racing at allowance level, the talent and speed and form she is showing right now has given her a start here today in this G2 race.\u00a0\u00a0 Last race out was a 9 furlong run at Stakes level and she appeared to struggle distance wise so will be interesting to see how she copes with 8.5f at this class level.\u00a0 I would suggest to you my friend, my reader, probably even the trainer of this one (assuming you read this \u2013 are you reading this?). I bet you are reading this.\u00a0 I digress!!!\u00a0 I think she may struggle for distance possibly.\u00a0 Hard to tell as 9 was a bit too far. 8.5 may be perfect. We shall see. Speed though she has and is good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10 \u2013 PERTH ROADHOUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n No distance issues for this one and loving the dirt.\u00a0 Loving the dirt I say!\u00a0 Like a roadhouse with a burger.\u00a0 And some fuel.\u00a0 If that makes sense. Has been improving in form and speed with her last run a speed rating of 106 over 8.5f.\u00a0 That will make her contend here I would put to you.\u00a0 Looks good.\u00a0 A middle of the field runner which could certainly surprise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11 – PROVE EM WRONG<\/strong><\/p>\n Out of Tiznow, this 4yo has had a solid career so far with wins at both Stakes and Graded levels. Her form is a touch erratic with a few very good races and then she will turn up to the next race and have a bad one.\u00a0 Could be more consistent that\u2019s for sure but is still very classy and one of the favourites here !<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12 – DETERMINIST<\/strong><\/p>\n Has had a mixed career of runs on both turf and dirt but it does like she just may well favour the dirt track and that is exactly what the trainer thinks after swapping her back to dirt after a few runs on the turf.\u00a0 Late last\u00a0 year she was running good times and getting good placing results at Stakes level on dirt and the return to dirt today might well bring her back with a bang in 2014.\u00a0 This is harder though so it will have to be some sort of race for her to win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13 \u2013 LAW AND CHAOS<\/strong><\/p>\n Yet to debut on dirt.\u00a0 I can say nothing about how she will go on dirt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On turf she has been good but hasn\u2019t looked like being able to cope with much distance beyond 7.5furlongs.\u00a0 Trainer hoping that:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her sire stats suggest the trainer is going to be VERY disappointed. Comisserations!\u00a0 Still better than anything I own though!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14 – TRALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n This filly out of Pulpit in only her 4th<\/sup> race of her career came storming home for a win in the G3 Davola Dane South back in Feb of last year.\u00a0 That\u2019s the good news.\u00a0 The bad news is she has not been able to repeat or even go on with that result since that race at Graded level.\u00a0 Still a very successful career with earnings on the way to the $200k mark but anything that is higher than an Allowance level to date she has struggled with.\u00a0 My guess is this will be too tough.\u00a0 Surprise me though \u2013 I do like surprises!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ok I told you not to read this and yet here you are!! \u00a0What’s the go? \u00a0Seriously? \u00a0Its like a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","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-18042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18042","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\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18042"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18045,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18042\/revisions\/18045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
