A short but classy field of well matched fillies and mares will square off in Saturday’s feature.\u00a0 Here are the ladies from the hedge out.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Heaven’s Rage<\/STRONG> arrives fresh off her first stakes win.\u00a0 The flashy chestnut closed out 2005 beating a field of three year olds at ten panels right here in Pennsylvania.\u00a0 Trainer Wallflower has procured the services of the red hot rider Quincy Miller for his big Fusaichi Pegasus x Awesome Again filly.\u00a0\u00a0Big chance\u00a0to make it two stakes wins in a row.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
It’s been a while since Sland Gram<\/STRONG> has won a stake.\u00a0 May of 2005 to be exact.\u00a0 Nineteen races ago.\u00a0 So why is the five year old daughter of Grand Slam the co-favorite?\u00a0 Two words.\u00a0 Back class.\u00a0 Trainer Bigb is hopeful that his\u00a0grade I winner can remember what it was like to\u00a0cross the wire first.\u00a0 Needs to bring her “A” game on Saturday.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Breaking from the three hole will be Yours2view’s muscular Event Of The Year filly, Skilled Charmer<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 She\u00a0finished a well beaten third behind Heaven’s Rage two back and failed to raise a gallop last time out.\u00a0 Skilled Charmer did win a New Jersey stake four back and her best effort can bring her close.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Iron Avatar<\/STRONG> invades from New Hampshire where she finished\u00a0sixth of eight in the Grade III Remember Stakes.\u00a0 Prior to that, Sbg’s Perfect Soul homebred had finished fourth or better in nine successive races.\u00a0 Consistent filly but only one victory in the last year so she must step forward here to have any hope of winning.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
We know where Millerfar2’s Dixie Queen<\/STRONG> will be for\u00a0at least seven furlongs.\u00a0 In front.\u00a0 She is a sprinter of some note having won a pair of turf stakes at less than a mile.\u00a0 She\u00a0also won a mile and a sixteenth stake some time ago so the pretty gray daughter of Monarchos cannot be ruled out entirely.\u00a0\u00a0Could be trouble\u00a0if left alone on the lead.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Rounding out the field is Mikeg’s versatile veteran, Shrewd Vixen<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The Johannesburg homebred can handle any distance, surface or track condition.\u00a0 Most recently she chased home a trio of graded winners (Wild Chick, Wild Cat Tales, Pleistocene Epoch) in the Grade I Beldame at nine furlongs on the dirt.\u00a0 Prior to that came a pair of seconds in grass route stakes.\u00a0 Looks like a major factor.<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
