A weekend without any grade\/group racing (well, since I’ve been here),\u00a0 leaves me with a wide range of listed stakes to consider for a preview.\u00a0 Since I usually cover Sunday racing,\u00a0 and this one has the most entries\u00a0 – awaaaaaayyyyy we go ! <\/span><\/p>\n

.
\nFrom Pocatello Downs in Pocatello,\u00a0 Idaho,\u00a0 we take a look at the Walther War Dirt Mare Special listed stakes,\u00a0 to be run at a mile and an\u00a0 eighth on the dirt oval here.\u00a0 G2 winner Kukaa Salama heads a field of ten older females looking to take the lion’s share of the $100,000 purse.\u00a0 Which of these ladies will get their 2015 campaigns off to a winning start ?\u00a0 Well,\u00a0 let’s take a closer look at the past performances in post position order and see if we can\u00a0 spotlight the contenders and possibly select the winner.<\/span>

\n.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nBay four year old,\u00a0 scratch bred Empire Maker filly (by Nureyev) didn’t appear to relish the sloppy going last out when a well beaten 7th in the Legally Bald listed stakes at 10 furlongs,\u00a0 posting a 93 SP#.\u00a0 One prior was a closing 2nd on a “good” surface in the Speed Again listed at this distance,\u00a0 scoring a 111 SP#.\u00a0 One back of that was a closing 2nd at 8.5 panels earning a 107 SP#.\u00a0 Won her only try at this trip;\u00a0 back on a fast surface,\u00a0 should be closing in the lane,\u00a0 can contend on top try for owner\/trainer sjmeola.\u00a0 .<\/span>

\n.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nShe had a three race winning streak snapped when a never in it 8th last out in rhe Enter Royal Love listed stakes at a mile,\u00a0 earning a 103 SP#.\u00a0 Bay four year old daughter of Distorted Humor,\u00a0 out of the graded placed,\u00a0 stakes winning sim-mare Cascade\u00a0 (by Unbridled) won an open allowance at 8.25 panels one prior,\u00a0 notching a 106 SP#.\u00a0\u00a0 One back of that was a score in a NW3L allowance at a mile with a 86 SP# in a stalking trip.\u00a0 Versatile runner from the phantom racing group can benefit from a crafty jockey ride,\u00a0 but will need to step up her game to contend in this heat.<\/span>

\nScratch bred four year old roan filly by Medaglia D’Oro (by A.P.I Indy) was an easy winner of a restricted allowance at 10 furlongs in last,\u00a0 posting a 89 SP# in a front running victory.\u00a0 One back of that,\u00a0 this outback2 trainee tired to 5th in the Torrid Block listed stakes at 6 panels,\u00a0 earning a 105 SP# in a pace pressing try.\u00a0 One prior was a win in the slop at 6.5 furlongs in the Ack Liability listed with a 102 SP#.\u00a0 Looks to be one of the main speeds,\u00a0 may get brave if loose on an easy lead. \u00a0<\/span>
