Welcome to sunny Athens, Greece, for the running of the Capssasal Memorial Stakes for 3yo fillies.\u00a0 This race has attracted only a small field of six, for the handsome purse of $75,000.<\/P>
Run over 7.5 furlongs on a fast dirt track, the morning line favourite will\u00a0go from the outside post, and looks to have a class edge on the rest of these from looking at exposed form. However, with many runners, including the favourite, only having less than a handful of starts to their names, it is an opportunity for these fillies to step up and show their trainers, and the sim, their true potential.<\/P>
PP1 POETIC LICENCE<\/STRONG> ID#124676 bevron<\/EM> 7\/1<\/P> Outsider of the field broke through at her fifth start to win on the sloppy track over this distance, and followed it up last time with a well beaten seventh\u00a0in a listed stakes.\u00a0 Yet to prove she is up to this class and may struggle here again.\u00a0 Best results have come when up handy to the early speed, but was blown\u00a0away last start.\u00a0 Smaller field may suit her better, but place best.\u00a0 <\/P> PP2 SPORTIN’ FORTY<\/STRONG> T ID#29051 pup<\/EM> 7\/2<\/P> Interesting filly by Van Nistelrooy, who has won a stakes race, but not any other kind of race, including a maiden.\u00a0 Hasn’t been able to follow up with any more wins since her second race start, but has been stakes placed twice.\u00a0 Was sent back to an allowance last time out after struggling when tried over a route, and put her best SP# on the board in running third.\u00a0 Further improvement would see her challenge for a share of the prize here again.<\/P> PP3 BARB’S VICTORIOUS<\/STRONG> ID#132147 maxie<\/EM> 9\/2<\/P> Followed up her maiden, first start win with an encouraging third place in a listed stakes over 6 furlongs.\u00a0 Went wire to post in front for a comfortable win over a mile in an allowance two starts ago, before finding them too slick last time when back to a 6 furlongs stakes race.\u00a0 The step\u00a0up in distance looks ideal, and will challenge for front running honours here.\u00a0 Daughter of Forty Niner who is still finding her way in racing, but is sure to make her presence felt.<\/P> PP4 TEN HUNTERS<\/STRONG> ID#118140 leeclaim3<\/EM> 5\/1<\/P> Front running filly who put 3 lengths on a Grade III field last start in the Myocardial Infection Stakes, before tiring to finish ninth.\u00a0 Drops back one furlong, and down to a small stakes field, both factors which appear to be in her favour.\u00a0 Will be fitter following her one run of this campaign, and was a stakes winner over this distance at her previous start.\u00a0 Should be able to find the lead here, or at least a top two position in running, and will take some catching.<\/P> PP5 BENEFITS<\/STRONG> ID#38415 pg24<\/EM> 5\/1<\/P> Winning form is good form, and this Touch Gold filly is looking for three in a row here.\u00a0 Both wins have come in a similar stalking fashion, where she has sat back off the pace and then exploded before the stretch to open up a winning break.\u00a0 Steps up in class here and won’t have it quite so easy, but looks to be naturally improving with racing, and will sure to be running on.\u00a0 Has claims.<\/P> PP6 SOLANA BEACH<\/STRONG> ID#126165 cobleskill<\/EM> 3\/2<\/P> Coming through the same Grade III race as TEN HUNTERS, this filly stands out as having run the best SP# by quite a margin.\u00a0 She impressed when winning her first two starts, and followed it up with a big 3 length win, going an SP#94 in an owner restricted stakes at her third start.\u00a0 Went the same figure last time in the Myocardial Infection Stakes when fourth.\u00a0 Looks highly promising, and on paper, she looks the one to beat here, and is the deserved morning line favourite.<\/P> Selections – 6 to win.\u00a0 The rest of the field are an even bunch which all show promise, but haven’t put as strong results out as the favourite.\u00a0
