ON THE LINE<\/B> won six stakes races in his day, including one graded.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was a successful colt with two stakes wins to end his two-year-old season.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The four colts racing today seek a similar level of success \u2013 and their trainers are probably hoping for more.<\/P>

BRAHMA BULL RYRY<\/B> trained by ryry<\/I> \u2013 3\/1<\/P>

I\u2019m not sure what happened last time out, but without changing the distance or surface this horse generally runs on ryry was able to get a much better race out of his horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I certainly wouldn\u2019t credit the jockey for it, so I can only guess that this colt out of Bhrams liked the increased competition.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last time out he improved significantly, coming second in a medium-sized field stakes race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think he\u2019ll need to improve again to win this one.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think he\u2019d really perk up with a little more distance, I\u2019d try 6.5f next time out.<\/P>

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

SCARED OF FLYING(AUS)<\/B> trained by horseshack<\/I> \u2013 Even<\/P>

This colt has been consistently strong since he began his two-year-old season in week 2860.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He won the GOLD PINE Stakes<\/B> last time out, pulling away from the second place finisher BRAHMA BULL RYRY<\/B> (pp 1 above) in the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The bookies aren\u2019t joking, in this slimmer field this colt should have his photo taken in the winner\u2019s circle.<\/P>

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

PINE STREET<\/B> trained by heffbarn<\/I> \u2013 3\/1<\/P>

I\u2019m a little surprised with the odds on this one, he doesn\u2019t have the experience of the first two horses and his maiden-breaking effort last time out in the slop only earned him an SP of 70.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not to say that this horse doesn\u2019t show promise; he did win convincingly leading from the gate and stretching his lead throughout the race, suggesting he can go the extra \u00bd furling here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His breeding looks good; FOREST WILDCAT<\/B> has seven stakes winning progeny this year\u2019s crop, although his dam BARB\u2019S JENNY<\/B> hasn\u2019t had much success in the breeding shed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m not convinced this one is ready to win.<\/P>

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

CLOSET SMOKER<\/B> trained by goldcity<\/I> \u2013 5\/2<\/P>

This is another colt that broke his maiden his first time out, a credit to whoever taught this one to leave the gate. Since his lead was beginning to shrink down the stretch, goldcity<\/I> has opted to try him at a \u00bd furlong shorter distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although inexperienced and not the most regally bred, this one should be able to stay strong enough in the stretch to show.<\/P>

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

Although this race isn\u2019t that competitive – all four colts will be going home with a part of the purse \u2013 it should prove to be an interesting study in whether first time maidens can improve enough to win a stakes in their second attempt, or whether experience and not rushing into the stakes ranks pays in the end.<\/P>

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

I predict the two first-time stakes runners will battle for the lead in the early going, with the two GOLD PINE Stakes<\/B> alumni following closely behind.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Around the turn SCARED OF FLYING(AUS)<\/B> will easily take the lead, with BHRAMA BULL RYRY<\/B> pulling in behind.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>CLOSET SMOKER<\/B> will just nose out PINE STREET<\/B> for third.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
