North Carolina<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> will host the third running of the HARD SMASH stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last year\u2019s event was the first at this distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SIZE OF A MARTIN(IRE) was the winner in a time of <\/SPAN>1:57<\/SPAN><\/st1:time> 2\/5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

This year\u2019s field is small in size, with only five starters.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The field is relatively inexperience in regards to total races ran, but appears in review to be a competitive field with talent.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Hard Smash is a nine year old mare that ran in twenty-seven sim events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her seven wins contributed to earning over $200,000 in purse earnings.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

A late runner that is usually several lengths back when she shifts into high gear.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Having the tracks leading jockey on her back should add to her chances.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He knows this track and the tight turns of this inter-course.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The small field should not place her behind too much traffic, nor push her out into the middle of the track in the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Naber has a way of running ground saving trips, and this filly is talented enough to make up the ground.<\/P>

High Chaparral(IRE) x Red Ransom<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

For KICK OUT THE JAMS and SUPER SHARP to utilize their strong kick, then a challenge at the front of this short field may be needed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>RED REGENT will most likely receive some pressure from this co-favorite.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>LANCASTER(IRE) comes in off of a nice winning performance and finished strong (at 8.5 furlongs).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The added furlong should not be a factor.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

In her last trip, she returned for her second running on grass.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It resulted in a narrow win in a restricted allowance event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her first trip on the turf was a two year old in a stakes event and she performed well in that race (2nd<\/SUP>), so a nice run this time out would not be a big surprise.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will probably be sitting behind the two expected pace setters, and patiently wait to make her move.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She comes into this event as the co-favorite (with LANCASTER(IRE), and should be a threat.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

A good balance of runners make up this field, and should prove to be a competitive trip.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>My selections are:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>LANCASTER<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>(IRE)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SUPER SHARP\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>LORD STANLEY<\/st1:place><\/st1:City><\/P>
