A couple are really looking to move up in the rankings and make a name for themselves. Others are looking to break through and achieve that elusive first stakes win.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/H1><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP1 Splitenz <\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(7\/2) stretches back out a little bit after representing the Alpine Turf Club in the Equinics for breeder\/trainer <I>hawkz<\/I>. This Stormin Fever colt out of an Al Hattab mare has won 3 of his 7 races. Apparently the feed in North America didn\u2019t agree with him as he sandwiched a couple of disappointing efforts there around a 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> in a minor stakes. Returns to Europe where he has won all 3 of his races, including 2 stakes. Draws the co-leader in the rider standings at 21%. Has won on the lead and from just off the pace and might have his choice of either tactic here.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP2 Azroc Shuffling <\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(13\/1) returns to the dirt after 2 trips on the grass. Palace Music colt out of a Dance Bid mare broke his maiden on the first of those 2 trips, then stepped way up to graded company in the other for breeder\/trainer <I>whoami<\/I>. Ran evenly, if unspectacularly, in his only dirt try in his debut. Used closing tactics to get his win which would suit here, but wonder if he\u2019s up to the challenge, especially with 4% jock aboard.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><H1><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP3 High Price(IRE) <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(5\/2) sports the highest SP number of these with a 98 2 starts back when he won a stakes in Italy for breeder\/trainer <I>roosters04<\/I>.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>High Chaparral(IRE) colt out of a Blushing Groom(FR) mare also has the most races at 15 of the entries here. He has won 5 of those earning a total of $133,345. Gets a decent jockey and might have the pace he needs to sit in behind.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/H1><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP4 Smack Dab <\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(3\/1) apparently took issue with being run for a tag last time out and posted a SP of 96 in winning that race by 1-\u00bc lengths. Victory Gallop colt was struggling before that trying to clear his nw3l conditions against allowance company for breeder\/trainer <I>hamster<\/I>. Has a show finish to his name in a 4 horse field stakes on the turf as a 2 year old. Can win this on the lead if he can repeat his last, but would prefer to watch this one and see if he can pull it off against better rivals.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP5 Ted The Pom(GB) <\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(37\/1) goes off as the distant longshot for <I>paulbee1<\/I>. Fly To The Stars(GB) colt broke his maiden on the turf in his debut, but has only hit the board once in his 9 races since. He did post his career high SP last time out, but unfortunately beat only one horse doing it. Would take a monumental effort here to repeat that performance and the 2% jock won\u2019t help in getting that.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP6 Country Songs <\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(7\/2) returns to sprinting after trying routes in his last 6 trips to the post for breeder\/trainer <I>riverdance<\/I>. He missed lighting the board only once in his sprinting tries, that being in his first stakes effort. He followed that 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> place up with his first stakes victory and has return to the winner\u2019s circle twice more in stakes since then. Despite winning 5 of his 12 races, this son of Unbridled\u2019s Song has yet to crack the 90 SP number barrier which he\u2019ll have to do to be competitive here.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">PP7 Nick N Nick <\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">(5\/1) has won his 4 races, out of 13 tries, since coming to the barn of <I>moala<\/I> after a disappointing debut on the turf for his breeder. This Fort Wood colt is 3-for-4 in allowance races, but has failed to impress in his 7 stakes efforts, with a 5<SUP>th<\/SUP> being his best placing. With 14% jock, he should be able to at least match that and bring home a check.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P><B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\">Pick<\/SPAN><\/B><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt\"> Suggest a $4 exacta box with Splitenz and High Price.
