SUPERWOMAN<\/B><I> vampire2 <\/I>17\/1 (A.P. INDY x KINGMAMBO x DANEHILL) Two races back she ran a 103 in a stakes race at 6.5F. she looks like she might be goning the wrong direction after that performance with a 96 in her next start. She needs to improve to get a shot here.<\/P><B><P>2<\/B> <B>DUBLIN LASS<\/B><I> dublinlad <\/I>8\/1 (STORM CAT x MR. PROSPECTOR x SEATTLE SLEW) The number 10 ranked dirt sprinter older mares. Comes in here off a owner restricted stakes race with a 100sf and was in a grade 2 before that finishing an impressive third. Earlier this year she won the Sister Dumb Stakes -G2 with a 108. If she can find her form she could have a shot.<\/P><B><P>3<\/B> <B>BIRDS OF PARADISE <\/B><I>dixiedotco<\/I><B> <\/B>5\/1 (SEEKING THE GOLD x STORM BIRD x HALO) The number 7 ranked dirt sprinter. She is a multple graded stakes winner. Last out was in the grade 1 speed speed speed stakes ran a 97 and finished 4th. The race before that she won the Flying pig sprint a grade 3. She looks to be back at her distance of choice,101,110,108 last three times at this distance, give a close look.<\/P><B><P>4<\/B> <B>SMOKIN LOIS <\/B><I>molwr<\/I><B> <\/B>21\/1 (SMOKE GLACKEN x EASTERN ECHO x STORM CAT) The Number 9 ranked dirt sprinter. She won a grade 2 eailier but I think she might have bitten off more the she can chew. She is facing older for the first time and needs to improve a lot to reach these.<\/P><B><P>5<\/B> <B>PUENTELARRA<\/B><I> har <\/I>9\/2 (SADLER&#8217;S WELLS x NASHUA x SIR GAYLORD) She is the number 2 ranked dirt sprinter. she tried to go a mile last out and faded to third by three that race should set her up perfectly for one of her better efforts as she cuts back in distace. Last 8 races have been in graded company and she has finished in the money 6 of those. she might be a bit of a seconditis type. Would look for a good effort here.<\/P><B><P>6<\/B> <B>GROOMED TO ROMP T <\/B><I>pick6<\/I><B> <\/B>36\/1 (GONE WEST x BLUSHING GROOM(FR) x CREME DELA CREME) This one is out of it&#8217;s place here. Needs a lot of improvement to get close here, has yet to hit the 100 mark and will need to in order to best this bunch.<\/P><B><P>7<\/B> <B>BARB&#8217;S EMPIRE<\/B><I> barbheff <\/I>14\/1 (EMPIRE MAKER x STORM CAT x BOLD REASON) She needs to rebound of her off track performance last out. Two back she ran a heart stopping 105 in a 7.5 stakes race and needs that or better to contend here.<\/P><B><P>8<\/B> <B>STRIKE THE BIRDIE <\/B><I>sesho17<\/I><B> <\/B>5\/1 (ROCK SLIDE x SMART STRIKE x BLUEBIRD)Last time out ran a 110 and lost by 1 in a listed stake. If she can repeat that performance she should have a good chance to upset the favorite. Look out for a bounce though.<\/P><B><P>9<\/B> <B>GREASE BARE <\/B><I>rohirrim<\/I><B> <\/B>5\/1 (LAMMTARRA x AVENUE OF FLAGS x DRONE) She ran a 106 last time out in the Smackdown 2 event and won that three back she came in second in the unthinkable stakes G2 with a 109. This one will hit the board but I don&#8217;t know if she will have enough to win.<\/P><B><P>10<\/B> <B>THEIF IT ALL<\/B><I> justicesmu <\/I>45\/1 (CAT THIEF x BELONG TO ME x GOLD FEVER) Three starts three wins, 86, 98, 96. The trainer mihgt have jumped the gun here but when they are running this good you sometimes have to take a chance. Might take a look at, needs to improve though.<\/P><B><P>11<\/B> <B>INDY CAUSEWAY(IRE) <\/B><I>triplecrown<\/I><B> <\/B>27\/1 (GIANT&#8217;S CAUSEWAY (IRE) x A.P. INDY x ALYDAR) Comes in today with back to back wins in alw races at 5.5F. needs to improve to touch this class but might have found herself.<\/P><B><P>12<\/B> <B>WHITE FLAG <\/B><I>ryantoga<\/I><B> <\/B>9\/1 (TWINING x SEATTLE DANCER x DAYJUR) she looks like she might be coming back into form with a nice 101 last out. Her last try at this distance was a 105 and maybe she can repeat that today. She was second in a grade 3 by a head with a 107. Might play in your exotics.<\/P><B><P>13<\/B> <B>SUFFRAGETTE CITY <\/B><I>sdmf5<\/I><B> <\/B>5\/1(CARSON CITY x AFFIRMED x DARSHAAN(ENG)) Her pattern looks like she might be on a bounce but she was second in the speed speed speed stakes with a 102. Her last out was a 104 in the Grade 1 Dancer cap were she was 4th. Look for her moving late.<\/P><P>My Picks are <\/P><B><P>5<\/B> <B>PUENTELARRA<\/B><I> <\/P><\/I><B><P>9<\/B> <B>GREASE BARE <\/P><P>3<\/B> <B>BIRDS OF PARADISE<\/P><\/B><\/FONT><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Puentelarra be upset?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2839\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
