Lou to swoop home at Ostend"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">This weekend, Ostend will play host to a field of 8 4yo+ fillies and mares, doing battle in The Alot Until Bar(FR) Stakes, worth $40,000.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The event is run twice a year, and the first running last year saw a time of 1:28 4\/5 posted by K\u2019S ADDIKTION to win with an SP# of 106.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">This time there are three charges that dominate the betting, with a few good each way hopes thrown in to make things interesting.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Most of these fillies have good gate speed, so it could set it up for a late swooper to close home over the top.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP1 GONE RED ID#1033 ragman 5\/1<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">The switch back to turf may have been what got this Red Ransom filly going last start.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She improved 18 SP#s to go a 101 and take home an allowance by almost 3 lengths.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Hasn\u2019t run a sprint since very early in her career, but has a great record nevertheless.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last run signalled that she might still have more improvement left, and has genuine speed from the gate, so should be in a prominent position throughout.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good chance to win her debut stakes try.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP2 ROCK OF THIRROUL ID#6917 crawl 17\/1<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Wasn\u2019t up to it last start when only managed an SP#72 over the same distance she faces here when last in the Don\u2019t Look Back Special.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Had much better results to her name before that when leading from the start, although has trouble with consistency.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Looks outclassed in this, and it would take a huge form reversal from her last run to figure in the finish.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP3 JUMP ON THE YOLLE ID#95259 bobmarley 10\/1<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Another who failed to fire in the Don\u2019t Look Back Special, and followed it up with a fair effort last start when ran home ok to finish 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> in an allowance.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This Montjeu filly has been quite handy, with a record of 28 5-4-4, but hasn\u2019t quite been up to stakes level so far.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her best results have come when ridden handy to the speed, and jockey B.B.Thornton (4%) would be best advised to go with that tactic to giver her the best shot, although competition will be tough up front.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rough place chance.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP4 KISS MY KRIS ID#98162 slades 7\/1<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Has hit the board at 16 of her 19 career starts and has now topped a quarter of a million dollars in winnings.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last outing in a stake race was an all the way win back in July last year over a mile.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The slight drop back in distance from what she has been going of late shouldn\u2019t be a problem, and she is another on pacer who, at her best will be very hard to beat.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should go close if she can put it all together.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm

not quite up to it last time in a Grade III.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Looks ideally placed here, back in listed stakes company, and her latest form indicates she deserves her short odds.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She likes to come from the back of the pack, so the predicted hot early speed should suit her down to the ground, and the step up to 7.5 furlongs will give her every chance to run over the top.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>T.Maes (20%) has been in great touch, and this pair will take some beating.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP6 RENACER ID#81299 juliotto 5\/2<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Has been in career best form since making the switch to turf, and finally hit a triple figure SP# last start when just held on to get the prize.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Before that, she strolled home by 4 lengths in a small field, battled gamely for a 5<SUP>th<\/SUP> placing in a Graded stakes, and had 2 impressive wins in allowances in very quick times.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If she can hold her form into this race, she will certainly go close.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP7 BEANSTALK ID#63571 icechaser 2\/1<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Morningline favourite, but has been knocked off at her last two when sent out favourite in smaller fields, both over this distance.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ran well to finish 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> in both the Rock of Cashel Grade I, and the Prancing Ferry Grade II to finish off last year.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Prior to that she strung 3 strong stakes wins together in a row, including an SP#106.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should be fitter for this, and is the class runner of the field.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her pet distance, and in form jockey, A.Smith (21%) on board won\u2019t hurt her chances.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The one to beat.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP8 RED MISS ID#111604 wallylewis 32\/1<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Lightly raced filly who has had 7 weeks off since she did what she had to do to get the prize in a weak allowance.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Was midfield on the dirt before that, and three starts ago she broke through for her maiden win over this distance.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is a massive leap in class, and a big test to see if she can compete at this level, but she is likely to be run off her feet.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';
