Here we have one of the toughest races to handicap – 9 ladies head to the starting gate for the Hannah Barbera Cap Grade II over 10 furlongs, and what do we find – all of them are UNDER <\/STRONG>double figure odds. Only 4 1\/2 points split the field of 9. No. 1\u00a0Mariana’s Cigar 9\/1 –<\/STRONG> (Palace Music x Seattle Slew x Medieval Man)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Mariana2<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Extremely consistant in recent outings and very versatile as can race up on the pace, or can be let settle back in the field. On the improve time wise and the distance won’t trouble her. If can manage the step up to Graded class will be a definite threat at the outside odds of 9\/1. No. 2 Thundering Devine 9\/1 – <\/STRONG>(Ecton Park x Thunder Gulch x Stage Door Johnny)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Teamstable<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Another not really tried at Graded class, will be one of the pace setters and should fight on well, but doubtful will be able to hang on for top 3 finish, may get a minor check. No. 3 Grand Entry 6\/1 –<\/STRONG> (Storm Cat x Seeling The Gold x Blushing Groom (Fr))<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Chilimac<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Will turn up the pressure early along with the other potential leaders but unless she can beat the others off and get her own way in front, is unlikely her recent trend of being the bridesmaid rather than the bride will turn around. Seems to be suspect when the heat is on in the last furlong.<\/P> No. 4 Dynahigh (Ire) 6\/1 –<\/STRONG> (High Chaparral x Dynaformer x Thunder Gulch)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Burnin<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/P><\/FONT> Will certainly be pushing for the lead early and will attempt to dominate the early part of the race and dictate his own terms up front. The major concern is that one or two of the other jockeys will have the same idea. Is\u00a0a graded winner over this distance 6 starts back in the I’m Lost Hcp <\/EM>and if can find that form again will give this race a big shake.<\/P> No. 5 SJ’s Silver Ghost 5\/1-<\/STRONG> (Silver Ghost x Danzig x Sadler’s Wells)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Ufslfarms<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Another lady that prefers to lead the pack but seems to have dropped form and confidence in her recent races. Ranked number 18 in Older Female Classic category, but has been a long while since she has shown her best form. If can even get back to 90% of her best, would give this race a big shake. No. 6 Aragon Bull 9\/2 –<\/STRONG> (Palance x Roxbury Park x Rainbow Quest)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Fourhooves<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> The form horse of the field coming off a sensational win 2 starts back over 10.5 furlongs in the ungraded Nappy Dugout Special<\/EM> Stake carding a 110 SP. Has the perfect staking running style for this type of race where 2 or of the others could carve each other upout front. No. 7 Prospector Villa 5\/1 –<\/STRONG> (Crafty Prospector x Pancho Villa x Cornish Prince)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Pazfour<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Another that this race should suit, if she can settle just off the pace. Has been knocking on the door in last 2 starts since her distant 4th in the Equinics on a yielding track. Firm track suits her better here and expect a forward showing. No. 8 Stage Coach Slew (Ire) 8\/1 –<\/STRONG> (Theatrical (Ire) x Gone West x Seattle Slew)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Kyclocker4<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Runs her best races on a wet track and against ungraded company. Probably the one whose chances I fancy the least in this extremely open race. However it would not surprise overly much to see her figure in the finish. No. 9 Sadler’s Pye 9\/2 –<\/STRONG> (Brocco x Saddler’s Wells x Jade Hunter)<\/FONT><\/P> Trainer:<\/FONT> Bmoney<\/STRONG><\/EM><\/FONT><\/P> Winner of this race last year, which was the last time she had a top 3 finish. Has been very lightly raced since with only 6starts in the intervening 12 months. Forgetting her last start where she failed miserably, her other 5 runs were consistant without being spectacular. Will be the sentimental favorite with the local Japanese crowd.<\/P> \u00a0Well I had the I Ching, Tarot Cards, Crystal Ball out I even tossed a coin and threw some darts at the form guide to try and split this field and find you a winner, without any luck. So in disgust I threw the form guide onto the floor, and went and got a beer. When I got back to my office I found that my cat (Squeegee) had mistaken the form guide for her newspaper and left her mark………so that is as good a choice as any.<\/P> Squeegee’s Tips<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> 1.
