Sherman\u00a0 9\/1 <\/P><P>A fine field of twelve will duke it out in the 2006 Grade III Mohammad Ali.\u00a0 Here they are from the rail outward:<\/P><DIV>First\u00a0comes\u00a0Coolk&#8217;s dual stakes winner <STRONG>Shark Bite<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The deep closing son of Aldebaran won the Jail Joe Special in Berlin three back and most recently closed from thirteenth to fourth in a Malaysian allowance test.\u00a0 In the Jail Joe, the four year old homebred stopped the timer in 1:48 for the nine panel event good for a 106 speed rating.\u00a0 Contender if he runs back to that effort.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><STRONG>Here For The Party<\/STRONG> arrives in fine form having finished second in three of his previous four starts, all stakes.\u00a0 The\u00a0handsome Hansel homebred posted a quick 110 speed figure last time out while finishing second in Vermont&#8217;s Tour Ou Rien Stake at 9.5 furlongs.\u00a0 Trainer Babyfarm is very pleased with Here For The Party since switching to dirt and has named\u00a0Kentucky kingpin D Givins\u00a0to ride Saturday.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV><STRONG>Twist Of Lemon<\/STRONG> has won eight of fifteen starts since abandoning the turf in favor of the main course.\u00a0\u00a0He was a creditable fourth in The Wax Tom &#8216;Cap last time out and had won three of four allowance tests immediately prior to that start.\u00a0 The flashy chestnut with the sparkling pedigree (Lemon Drop Kid x Storm Cat x Kris S.) has not yet lived up to his breeding and looks in stakes company.\u00a0 But trainer TheaxeII is confident that\u00a0Twist Of Lemon\u00a0will\u00a0improve his Stakes Placed designation soon.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><STRONG>Lilac Hotel<\/STRONG> is a nice allowance runner.\u00a0 A big win two back earned the son of Broad Brush a stakes start.\u00a0 2122&#8217;s homebred barely raised a gallop before retreating\u00a0in The Rock&#8217;s Texas Cooking Series Stake.\u00a0\u00a0Seems overmatched again.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV>Six year old <STRONG>Leaky Tap<\/STRONG> has been a good horse for a long time.\u00a0 He won three of four starts as a juvenile and had a nice sophomore campaign getting checks in The Bluegrass Derby, Florida Derby, Middle Jewel and winning the Grade III Giant Slayer Classic. \u00a0Sharp second in a listed stake last time out and trainer Carolover is approaching the 100 win mark so the big Pleasant Tap stallion cannot be taken lightly.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV>Looney1 sends out graded winner <STRONG>Not Bluffing<\/STRONG> for the Ali.\u00a0 The five year old son of Pine Bluff won the Grade II Iowa Cornhusker BB Classic in a super fast 1:47.2 (111 SP) last year.\u00a0 But since then, the rangy homebred has failed to hit the board in seven starts.\u00a0 Needs to regain his best form to contend.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV>Goillili sends out veteran warrior <STRONG>Silent Voices<\/STRONG> for this test.\u00a0 The Battle Cry five year old has quietly amassed $143,000 in thirty-six career attempts.\u00a0 The erstwhile claimer lost sixteen straight before breaking his maiden.\u00a0 But he then reeled off five of six and is coming into the Ali in good form.\u00a0 Two back he finished a solid third in The Razorback to earn his GP designation and last time out won a 3X allowance in Eastern Kentucky posting a nifty spiffy 104 speed number in the process.\u00a0 The &#8220;now&#8221; horse.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV>Sea Senor is living proof that\u00a0winning\u00a0is no prerequisite\u00a0for success as a broodmare.\u00a0 The daughter of Unbridled and Tight Track (El Gran Senor) won only\u00a0once and averaged less than a thousand dollars a\u00a0race in twenty-seven career starts.\u00a0 But her mating to Carson City produced Grade III winner <STRONG>Loose Carson<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The speedy six year old earned his GW designation four back by winning Utah&#8217;s Queen of the County Stake.\u00a0 Trainer Alleds is hoping his charge can bounce back from a disappointing fifth in the Grade I Oaktree last time out.\u00a0 Favorite is certainly capable if he fires.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV><STRONG>Mambo SS<\/STRONG> (Kingmambo x Darn Langfuhr) is ambitiously placed by trainer Tinsaltown.\u00a0 The career allowance horse could not possibly have found a tougher spot for his added money debut.\u00a0 Nice colt but in way too tough.<\/DIV><\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV><STRONG>Guns Of August<\/STRONG>\u00a0enters the\u00a0Mohammad Ali following his third place finish in the Ali&#8217;s Tater.\u00a0 The four year old Deputy Commander colt from the fine producing Glitterman mare, Ms. Lady,\u00a0appears ambitiously placed by Waremblem4.\u00a0 But anything can happen in a horse race and this\u00a0quarter million dollar earner\u00a0does try hard.\u00a0 <\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV><STRONG>Rootin Fer Dootsin<\/STRONG> is another one of Gcutty&#8217;s band of &#8220;Dootsin&#8221; horses.\u00a0\u00a0Rootin has carved out a decent living in mid to upper level allowances.\u00a0 Last time out he crushed a band of conditioned foes in Indiana while posting a 100 speed rating.\u00a0 But his record in stakes is zero for fourteen.\u00a0 Needs an easier spot.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV><DIV><STRONG>Seeking Pie<\/STRONG> is yet another seeking graded glory.\u00a0 Jefahl&#8217;s homebred Seeking The Gold stallion is a multiple stakes winner.\u00a0 Three back he won the Mine Project in South Dakota posting a\u00a0104 in the process.\u00a0 He regressed a bit in his next two starts and will need his very best to threaten on Saturday.\u00a0
