It\u2019s a stakes called the Jupiter\u2019s\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Smashes.<\/P>

For five colts as quick as five flashes.<\/P>

So bear with us this time<\/P>

As we ponder, in rhyme,<\/P>

Who the best bet of this short dash is.<\/P>

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

1. SMELSTON ALERT(SWE)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(DIAGHLYPHARD x BOLD LAD (IRE) x <\/SPAN>SEMIPALATINSK<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:City>)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owned and bred by Superdog5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 7-1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

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

Twice he\u2019s proved he\u2019ll not fade in a duel,<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

And he\u2019ll find one again here: Most cruel.<\/P>

Superdog makes<\/P>

The class jump to stakes.<\/P>

Colts like this have a chance, as a rule.<\/P>

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

2.<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> <\/B>O.C. MATT(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(AFLEET ALEX x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY (IRE) x <\/SPAN>SEATTLE<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> SLEW)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owned by TheOC, bred by Konagold.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 4\/5<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Graded placed, this one has the class edge<\/P>

That could turn this race into carnage.<\/o:p><\/P>

Lone concern to the bettor:<\/o:p><\/P>

Last race was no better<\/o:p><\/P>

Than his prior. But I think he\u2019ll manage.<\/o:p><\/P>

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

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

3<\/B>.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>BLUE THISTLE(TX)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(A P VALENTINE x GLITTERMAN x GRAND SLAM)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>Bred, owned and ridden by Nabbs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odd: 9-1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Longest shot, and with only one race<\/o:p><\/P>

It\u2019s a bold move to be in this place.<\/o:p><\/P>

Won wire to wire,<\/o:p><\/P>

But speed needs to be higher<\/o:p><\/P>

To manage this likely stakes pace.<\/o:p><\/P>

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

4.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SCARIFIED(JPN)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(FORTY NINER x DEPUTY MINISTER x <\/SPAN>DANZIG<\/SPAN><\/st1:place>)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Bred and owned by Zwango1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 7\/2<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Another one making the climb<\/o:p><\/P>

To stakes level for the first time.<\/o:p><\/P>

Showed that he could stalk.<\/o:p><\/P>

He can roll; he can rock.<\/o:p><\/P>

He should handle this level just fine.<\/o:p><\/P>

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

5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>TOUCH OF THE CAT(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN>(SMARTY JONES x CAT THIEF x MR. PROSPECTOR)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Bred and owned by DShock\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 2-1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

His last race was this field\u2019s fastest.<\/o:p><\/P>

On a sloppy course, he\u2019d be the baddest.<\/o:p><\/P>

The lone time he faded<\/o:p><\/P>

Came against graded<\/o:p><\/P>

Against this sort, he\u2019s always menaced.<\/o:p><\/P>

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

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

Can anyone beat O.C. Matt?<\/P>

There are short odds on Touch of the Cat.<\/P>

But I\u2019ll take a shot<\/P>

On a trainer who\u2019s hot.<\/P>

Give me Scarified or to hell with the meter just pull a name of the hat.<\/P>
