PP #1. \u00a0Falador (8\/1)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fralador is one of the younger horses in this race at 3 years of age.\u00a0 She is not stranger to Grade I level competition though.\u00a0 Her last four races have all been Grade I races where she has placed 3rd in two of those four.\u00a0 Her third place races came at 10.5 and 12 furlongs, so she will make the step up in distance for this one.\u00a0 She does have two stakes wins both coming in her two year old season.\u00a0 Since that time, this daughter of Frankel hasn’t left the graded competition.\u00a0 She ran in one Grade III race finishing 7th before her four Grade I attempts.\u00a0 Her best speed figure came two back when she ran a 107 speed figure in that 12 furlong Grade I race.\u00a0 Her last race was one to forget as she ran 12th out of 14 horses and never posed a threat.\u00a0 She loves to hang out towards the back and move up late.\u00a0 She will have two of the better horses in the race with her in that position, so will she will have to kick up a lot more than she has been of late.<\/p>\n

PP #2. \u00a0Annika Kamehameha (2\/1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Annika Kamehameha is the only horse in the field who has that coveted Grade I win.\u00a0 That win came back in June of 2014.\u00a0 Since then, this 4 year old daughter of King Kamehameha has been up and down in stakes and allowance races both.\u00a0 After taking nearly a three month layoff from March to June of this year, this girl came back strong leading wire to wire in an allowance race and winning comfortably by 6 lengths.\u00a0 She was her really threatened in that race.\u00a0 Her next race was a Grade II attempt at 13 furlongs.\u00a0 She ran second, losing by 2 and 3\/4 lengths but running a 108 speed figure to top off the day.\u00a0 She loves to sit near the back and make her move late.\u00a0 Look for her and The End Of time to be coming up late together.\u00a0 Who is going to have more juice to take the lead at the end?\u00a0 That is the biggest question with the two favorites in this race.<\/p>\n

PP #3. \u00a0Maximum Impact (9\/2)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oldest horse in the race is Maximum Impact.\u00a0 This Grade II winner out of Mineshaft is still running decent for her age, but that graded win last came back in 2011.\u00a0 After taking a two year break, she has come back to win a couple allowance races along with finishing second in an allowance race and a few stakes races.\u00a0 She attempted graded company in her last race, but finished 6th overall and never really challenged.\u00a0 She will be looking to sit near the front of the pack but a little off of the lead.\u00a0 This will be a tough spot to be in in this race.\u00a0 She has shown that her closing speed is a struggle at times.\u00a0 She will need to sit close enough to the leader to take that lead near the mid point in the race, but also save enough to hold off the late runners.\u00a0 This will be a tough position for this mare to be in.\u00a0 The good news is she has proven that she can do it, and isn’t a stranger to this competition level.\u00a0 If she can run the race she used to be able to, she should have no trouble coming out with a win.<\/p>\n

PP #4. \u00a0The End of Time (2\/1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The End Of Time will look to make it two in a row and four in her last five in this race.\u00a0 This 4 year old daughter of Teofilo failed to hit the board last year in November in her first ever graded attempt.\u00a0 Since that time?\u00a0 Five wins and two second place finishes in seven races.\u00a0 She will look to remain on a roll and keep those speed figures high in this race.\u00a0 Two races back, she found her first ever graded place finishing second narrowly in a Grade III attempt.\u00a0 Her last race, she won by 1\/4th of a length to take her first ever Grade II try.\u00a0 She will stay on the same competition level for this one and look to make it her second in as many tries.\u00a0 This beauty will look to sit at or very near the back and make her move closer to the end.\u00a0 She has proven herself so far and will look to continue her winning ways.<\/p>\n

PP #5. \u00a0Earnedthehardway (7\/1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earnedthehardway is one of the older horses age wise at 6 years old.\u00a0 Racing wise though, this girl is relatively new.\u00a0 After three races in 2012, this girl took two years off before coming back in late 2014.\u00a0 Se made the switch to turf and started to add distance and that made all the difference.\u00a0 Since coming back and making that switch to turf, this filly has won five of her seven races.\u00a0 The Street Cry filly made her first jump into graded company last time out and the race was one to forget as she finished 6th and never really challenged for the lead.\u00a0 Speed figures have been on the rise though, and this is something that shows promise as her career moves forward.\u00a0 She’s lightly raced, and has as many races as your typical three year old so it will be interesting to see how her career plays out.\u00a0 She will want to sit toward the back of the pack and make a late move.\u00a0 Will she have enough gas to do it?\u00a0 There will be other competition at the back and she will have to beat them out.<\/p>\n

PP #6. \u00a0K’s Tanta Calma (4\/1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

K\u2019s Tanta Calma is a nice 4 year old filly out of Teofilo.\u00a0 A relatively new racer to stakes competition, this filly had ripped off six wins in a row before finishing 4th last time out in her first ever graded attempt.\u00a0 She has shown she can take on the boys and the girls as half of her career wins are against open competition.\u00a0 When the competition level was raised last time out from listed stakes company, to Grade II company, she managed just a 4th place finish.\u00a0 We are looking at a filly that likes to lead wire to wire and that seemed to have caught up with her in her last race.\u00a0 She started off strong before fading late in the race to finish fourth.\u00a0 Will she have enough juice to lead this race from wire to wire?\u00a0 She will be gunning for the lead early.\u00a0 Can she hold off the late speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
