\u00a0AWESOME PATRIOT<\/span><\/b> x TIAGO x STORM CAT<\/p>\n

This 2 year old bay colt by promising 1st<\/sup> season sire Awesome Patriot out of the maiden winning mare Falcao is as yet untested on this track. He won his 1st<\/sup> start in a 5F Allowance race in New York (America), on dirt, running a smart SP 70. He followed that with an a slightly disappointing 6th<\/sup> place finish stakes level in the 5.5F Trenton Special* in New Jersey (America), on dirt, running a solid SP 67. To be ridden by B Larsen and will jump from gate 1. Being asked to go 6F now, not sure what to make of his last performance, others stronger at<\/span>this stage. ODDS 23\/1<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0CLASSYSBID<\/span><\/b> x OLD FASHIONED x MORE THAN READY<\/p>\n

This 2 year old light grey filly by lightly used bargain sire Classysbid out of the Allowance winning mare Roadmaster is as yet untested on this track. She sat on the speed to win his 1st<\/sup> start in a 5F Allowance race in Texas (America), on dirt, running a solid SP 66. To be ridden by D Williams and will jump from gate 2. He showed plenty of fight on debut, like so many others, must be conceded a chance.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>ODDS 29\/1<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0AWESOME AGAIN<\/span><\/b> x SEATTLE SLEW x DANZIG<\/p>\n

My No 2 selection. This blue blood 2 year old brown colt by super sire Awesome Again out of the allowance winning mare Ms. Masseter is having only his 2nd<\/sup> start and as yet untested on this track. He impressively won his 1st<\/sup> start in a 5F Allowance race in Dubai on dirt, running a fast SP 75. To be ridden by AJ Parker and will jump from gate 3. Very impressive debut performance and will relish more ground. This horse sprinted brilliantly fresh but will undoubtedly need further as he matures. Looks a smart one and will be hard to hold off at the finish.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>ODDS 7\/2<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image030\"<\/a>\u00a0DISCREETLY MINE<\/span><\/b> x MASTERCRAFTSMAN (IRE) x DEEP IMPACT (JPN)<\/p>\n

My No 3 selection. This 2 year old roan filly by sire Discreetly Mine out of the G3 winning Mastercraftsman mare Day Laborer has been placed on this track and the 6F looks suitable. She ran on nicely at her 1st<\/sup> run to run 2nd<\/sup> in\u00a0 <\/span>a 5F Allowance race in Kentucky (America), on dirt, running a solid SP 63. She was strong at the line to win at stakes level in the 5.5F Little Lady Classic* in New Jersey (America), on dirt, running a fast SP 74. To be ridden by J Castillo and will jump from gate 4. Strapping young filly who again takes on the boys here, looks like the 6F will suit her and will be hard to beat again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>ODDS 12\/1<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0UNION RAGS<\/span><\/b> x STREET CRY x RED RANSOM<\/p>\n

This 2 year old bay colt by impressive young sire Union Rags out of maiden winning mare Street Credibility is having only his 2nd<\/sup> start and as yet untested on this track. He impressively won his 1st<\/sup> start in a 5F Allowance race in California (America), on dirt, running a solid SP 69. To be ridden by C Mannion and will jump from gate 5. Very impressive debut performance and must be given a strong chance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>ODDS 7\/1<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image036\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"image038\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>COLORS FLYING<\/span><\/b> x SILVER DEPUTY x UNBRIDLED’S SONG<\/b><\/p>\n

This 2 year old bay colt by unheralded sire Colors Flying out of the stakes placed Silver Deputy mare Make Mine Silver is untested on this track but looks suited here. He finished the race off nicely at his 1st<\/sup> run to win a 5F Allowance race in South Africa, on dirt, running a smart SP 70. He followed that with a fine 2nd<\/sup> place finish at stakes level in the 5.5F Trenton Special* in New Jersey (America), on dirt, running a fast SP 75. To be ridden by T Tees and will jump from gate 6. Nice young horse that looks very forward at this time of the year, still improving and will be hard to beat again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>ODDS 13\/1<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image039\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0SHANGHAI BOBBY<\/span><\/b> x JOHANNESBURG x STREET CRY<\/p>\n

\u00a0My No 1 selection. <\/span><\/b>This scratch bred 2 year old brown colt by highly promising 1st<\/sup> season sire Shanghai Bobby is the winner of both his starts to date and is a winner on this track. He showed nice pace at his 1st<\/sup> run to win a 5F Allowance race in Kentucky (America), on dirt, running a smart SP 66. He showed that was no fluke by outpacing his rivals to win again at stakes level in the 5.5F Trenton Special* in New Jersey (America), on dirt, running a fast SP 78. To be ridden by D Wilson and will jump from gate 7. Precocious young horse that looks the goods will be asked to go 6F here but can see no reason why he can\u2019t, great chance for the hat trick.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>ODDS 10\/1<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This 2 year old bay colt by capable sire Midnight Lute out of the Allowance winning mare Crafty Kat is having only his 2nd<\/sup> start and as yet untested on this track.
