Pine Essence \u2013 3yo Colt \u2013 5\/1<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Essence Of Dubai<\/st1:City><\/st1:place> x Pine Bluff x Tom Rolfe<\/P>

Rank: 382<\/P>

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

This very nice 3yo Colt won in debut over 7Furlongs on Dirt. Next two starts were disappointing but in his Turf Debut he fired a 2nd<\/SUP> place in a Allowance with a 82SF just getting nailed at the finish. This colt had the honour to be a representative in the Equinics. He now has 2 Allowance Wins on the trot by a combined 6 \u00bc lengths and 94 & 96 Speed Figures. Big chance here and definitely a place chance.<\/P>

Seeking To Rule \u2013 3yo Colt \u2013 3\/1<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Seeking The Gold x Northern Dancer x Bold Ruler<\/P>

Rank: 1213<\/P>

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

The son of Seeking The Gold making his turf debut in his 6th<\/SUP> start. 2 starts back he won a Allowance NW2L over 7.5 furlongs by 1 \u00bd lengths with a 93 Speed Figure. Last Time out at Oregon<\/st1:State><\/st1:place> he won a 7.5 Furlong Ungraded Stakes by 1 length with a 101SF. Doesn\u2019t look like a turfer to me but it could surprise.<\/P>

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

Ragazza \u2013 3yo Filly \u2013 14\/1<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Rousillion x Tirol<\/st1:place> x Damister<\/P>

Rank: N\/A<\/P>

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

This 3yo Filly took 7 starts to break his maiden and it happened in her 3yo debut. Since then her best effort was a 2nd<\/SUP> in a Allowance. Im not sure this filly should be here.<\/P>

Olmodavor x Irish River x Seeking The Gold<\/P>

Rank: 1044<\/P>

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

Debuted in Jamaica<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place> as a 2yo in a Stakes over 7F when he lead most of the way before dropping off in the end to run 4th<\/SUP> with a 74SF. She then won 2 consecutive Allowances over 6.5F leading all the way with a high of a 88SF. Debuting his 3yo season he finished 5th<\/SUP> in a Stakes followed by a 5th<\/SUP> in a Allowance. Last Time Out was 3rd<\/SUP> in a Allowance. I don\u2019t think this colt should be in this race. Longshot.<\/P>

Bbors Baby Tune \u2013 3yo Colt \u2013 8\/1<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Skip Away x Mtoto x Nijinsky II<\/P>

Rank: 224<\/P>

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

The son of Skip Away making his 11th<\/SUP> start and all on Turf. The winner of 4 won his debut with ease before losing 3 straight races. After winning 2 Stakes in a row he came out and made it 3 by a head over 7 Furlongs with a 90SF. Last Time Out he finished down the track in a G1. A good place chance.<\/P>

Brahms x Seattle<\/st1:City><\/st1:place> Slew x Nijinsky II<\/P>

Rank: 164<\/P>

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

This young son of Brahms is 3 from 4 on dirt. In his 4th<\/SUP> starts which was his turf debut he romped in a MSW by 2 \u00bd lengths with a 85SF. Next start he won a Allowance by 2 lengths with a very good 91SF. After failing in a G3 LTO he won a Stakes by 1 \u00be lengths. Very good horse who likes like a good hope.<\/P>

Clemstone \u2013 3yo Colt \u2013 7\/1<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Ballingarry x Gone West x Afternoon Deelites<\/P>

Rank: 23<\/P>

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

This son of Ballingarry ranked 23 could of possibly made the 2000 Guineas<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> but the trainer opted not to. Making only his 7th<\/SUP> start this colt won his debut by 2 \u00bd lengths. After winning start #3 he went on to run a very tough 2nd<\/SUP> in the Grade I Japan Racing Association by 2 lengths. Last Time Out he ran a very good 4th<\/SUP> in a Grade I. Should win this with ease and seems to not like 9F but prefer 8F.<\/P>

Silvercourt \u2013 3yo Colt \u2013 8\/1<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Rainbow Quest x Storm Cat x Darshaan<\/P>

Rank: 17<\/P>

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

The son of Rainbow Quest could easily make the 2000 Guineas<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place> at about #9 but has chosen here. The earner of $356,000 debuted on turf in his 2nd<\/SUP> start winning by 1 \u00bd lengths.

Ecton<\/st1:PlaceName> Park<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> x Sunday Silence x Red Ransom<\/P>

Rank: 276<\/P>

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

The young son of Ecton<\/st1:PlaceName> Park<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> took 6 starts to break his maiden before winning 2 races in a row, both by 1 length with slow SF\u2019s. 2 starts back he ran 2nd<\/SUP> in a Allowance by 1 \u00bc lengths before running 2nd<\/SUP> again last start in a Stakes by 1 \u00bd lengths with a very good 93SF. Likes to lead and could get away with a nice lead in front.<\/P>

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

Selections:<\/P>

Clemstone <\/B>for first who is definetly the best in the race with a Grade I 2nd<\/SUP> under his belt.<\/P>

Seeking To Rule<\/B> is my second choice after a extroadinary win last start\/<\/P>

For third I like Fuzzy Rainbow <\/B>who has won 2 stakes and has ran 2nd<\/SUP> in a Grade I & Grade III before.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
