A field of 10 three-year-olds line up for the Pal Starting Memorial Stakes, a turf race over 6.5 furlongs in \u00a0<\/P> Back to this weekends feature, the most interesting point is that three of the 10 starters are fillies, and two of those find themselves top of the bookmakers boards. Let’s have a horse-by-horse look at the field, in betting order.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 3\/1 Brundle Hollandia – <\/STRONG>oostende3<\/EM><\/P> This homebred daughter of Officer is ranked 8th in her division, has won four times from nine starts, is already a triple\u00a0stakes winner, and last time out was flying up late to go down under a length in the Gr1 Eric Guerin. If she repeats that effort, though it was on a yielding track, the 3\/1 on offer will look amazingly generous. She\u2019s clearly the one to beat, especially with top jock Loesch aboard.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 7\/2 Fusaichi Inferno<\/STRONG> – correction<\/EM><\/P> Royally bred, Fusaichi Inferno is a stakes winner\u00a0of three races from eight starts. She\u2019s held by Brundle Hollandia on their meeting the Eric Guerin last time out and is likely to prefer a touch more ground with her \u2018come from the clouds\u2019 running style. She\u2019s a strong contender to finish in the money but is unlikely to turn the tables on the favourite.<\/P> 4\/1 Wigdan<\/B> – prufrockja This colt drops back into stakes company following two disappointing efforts at group level. Despite being only a one time winner, that being a maiden victory on debut, he is multiple stakes placed and shows a running style that suggests he will be in contention once they turn for home. A return to the form that he showed at the close of his juvenile season will make him a strong challenger to Brundle Hollandia.<\/P> \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P> 8\/1 Wonderboy Escobar<\/B> \u2013 wonder1<\/I><\/P> A son of Kingmambo, Wonderboy Escobar makes his three-year-old debut having ended his juvenile campaign with a narrow stakes victory over this trip in 8\/1 King Lure<\/B> \u2013 possumlake<\/I><\/P> King Lure is a very interesting runner here. His speed figure of 88 last time out brings him right into contention, but this is his first attempt against stakes company. Despite his strong closing style, both of his wins came over 6 furlongs with his losses over 6.5 furlongs. He\u2019s very difficult to rate here, but clearly deserves his place in the field.<\/P> 9\/1 Frosting(Aus)<\/B> \u2013 deeprock10<\/I><\/P> This Australian bred filly began her career with a big, beating the boys last month by more than four lengths, going away. She stepped straight into stakes company against fillies 11 days later and wasn\u2019t disgraced when midfield. She returns again to face the boys only a week later and there must be a question about whether this is too much too soon. Her speed figures are definitely competitive enough for inclusion though.<\/P> 9\/1 Silver Colony<\/B> \u2013 gamble4fun<\/I><\/P> With 12 runs behind him, Silver Colony is the most experienced runner in the field. While very consistent in allowance company, his two efforts at a higher level have been poor. A career best speed figure of 80 also suggests that he is not quite up to handling this class at this stage of his career and minor money is probably the best he can hope for here. <\/P> 12\/1 Minor Yours<\/B> \u2013 twotwo<\/I><\/P> A steadily improving colt, Minor Yours is one of the dark horses in the pack. He comes here for his first attempt in stakes company following back-to-back allowance victories. He could in the shake-up when it matters, if he handles the step up in class.<\/P> 16\/1 Farax<\/B> \u2013 bombsaway<\/I><\/P> Claimed from breeder 23\/1 Da Vinci Co Ed<\/B> \u2013 randwick1<\/I><\/P> After a promising start to his career, Da Vinci Co Ed has regressed quite badly while trying to beyond sprint distances. Throwing the route and dirt efforts out of his past performances leaves him with a respectable juvenile formline, though he will have to raise his game by a fair margin to be involved in the fight here. In those recent route runs have clouded his true ability, perhaps he could cause an upset.<\/P> Summary This is a very competitive event with many contenders in with a chance of running into the money, but I\u2019m going to suggest that Brundle Hollandia has the class to return to the winners\u2019 enclosure and pull off her fourth stakes victory, though she does face the colts for the first time.<\/P><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fillies top the board against the boys<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"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-1825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825","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\/149"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
