1 TORNADO OUTBREAK <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: mrxrayz25 <\/strong><\/span>
\nJockey: T\u00a0Ace <\/strong><\/span>
\nEarnings: $267,270 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 19\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Ran a 112 speed rating in August last year over this distance for the win in Stake company and last time out in early December ran a fading 108 over 8 furlongs also in Stakes company.\u00a0 Only 3 runs in 6 months so should be well rested!\u00a0 My guess is he is right on the distance limit of what he can run – possibly just past it. Needs a good run and plenty of stamina to outlast these but he has proven before he can do it.\u00a0 Will be a good result if he does.<\/p>\n

2 CRAB GROUNDS\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>

\nJockey: N\u00a0Bonus <\/strong><\/span>
\nEarnings: $177,635 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 16\/1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is mrxrayz’s second entrant in the race which is impressive in itself in having 2 horses running in this company.\u00a0 Hailing from the GR Simsters residency this one is also of the same quality in running very consistent times over this distance with speeds well over the 100 mark.\u00a0 Like Tornado Outbreak, of late has been finding it hard to run out the races with his last win at this distance being in August last year in Stakes company too. If he gets the length right can perform here – needs a good run.<\/p>\n

3 RIVER OF DOUBT <\/strong><\/span>

\nEarnings: $2,575,465 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 5\/2<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Just reading his name gave me some doubt about this horse and whether he should even be in this race.\u00a0 But then I looked at his race record so far and any doubt was immediately gone.\u00a0 Favourite for today and his last race shows why.\u00a0 G1 win over 8 furlongs with a speed rating of 118.\u00a0 That was the Breeders Bowl Dirt Mile in November last year. 10 wins from 16 outings.\u00a0 Earnings in excess of $2.5million. Serious quality this one.\u00a0 No doubt at all – should have every chance here.<\/p>\n

\nEarnings: $269,780\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 10\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Doesnt have the earnings of some of these but does definitely have the speed and really came of age last year in posting some huge speed races particularly in allowance and stakes company.\u00a0 Is a stakes winner but has been unable to perform at graded level yet although hasnt disappointed either.\u00a0 A 4th placed finish in a G3 in June was probably his best result in Graded company.\u00a0 As long as he isnt over awed and can run like he did last time out he has a very good chance to trouble some of these.\u00a0 Has a real chance of getting a place or better.<\/p>\n

5 DEATH BY DRACARYS <\/strong><\/span>

\nOdds: 5\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the fastest speeds yet I have seen in the entrants today with a 120 speed rating last time in the 9 furlongs Japan Dirt Cup. That was a third place finish. Does have the results at G1 level over 9 furlongs with a win back in August last year.\u00a0 So can definitely run this distance in graded company and get the results.\u00a0 A little up and down in form of late.\u00a0 Not sure where to place this one here – certainly has all the talent and record and pedigree to back for the win.\u00a0 One of the favourites for sure regardless!<\/p>\n

Where DID Ed go? Could the trainer let us know maybe?\u00a0 Id like to know who Ed is and where did he go? \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Last race was a fast finishing and strong 3rd place in G1 company over 8 furlongs at 116 speed. Which just makes his run here even more exciting to look forward to as he will have just that little bit of extra distance to play with and get the win.\u00a0 Looks strong, looks in form, looks impressive.\u00a0 If the favourite slips up, this one will be past and in for the win before you know it.\u00a0 Would expect a place finish at worst – a win very much in the cards.<\/p>\n

7 ONE SPICY MEATBALL <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: bigarnie <\/strong><\/span>
\nJockey: J\u00a0Biagi <\/strong><\/span>
\nEarnings: $123,460\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 29\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

This horses name is seriously cool and catchy!!! plus I love meatballs and I love spicy.\u00a0 All about me!\u00a0 Not of ton of earnings and one of the longer shots of the race with odds of 29\/1.\u00a0 However one race in particular does stand out in his race record. 16 October last year he ran a speed of 119 over 9 furlongs in Stakes company for the win.\u00a0 That is VERY fast. Has been pushed out a bit further in distance since then with not a lot of success so the trainer has wisely brought him back to 8.5 furlongs today.\u00a0 Lets see if he can reproduce that run a lil while back. If he does he will be challenging.<\/p>\n

8 SUNBREAKER <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: kingscourt17 <\/strong><\/span>

\nEarnings: $247,776 <\/strong><\/span>

\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nOut of the famous GHOSTZAPPER!!!!\u00a0 I do like that sires name a lot!\u00a0 SunBreaker has been raced predominately at Allowance racing but with some great great speeds including a 114 speed over 8.5 furlongs in October last year.\u00a0 Was tried last time out at Grade III level also over this distance and won easily with a speed of 118.\u00a0 Trainer has been VERY patient in getting this one up and it is now paying off with some awesome runs on dirt. I know the odds are 13\/1. I get the earnings are not as great as the favourite. But based on his last run – he could beat the favourite. Definitely. One of those quite unassuming horses that could blitz the field.\u00a0 Keen to see how he runs today here.<\/p>\n

9 LOOKIN AT STORMS <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: mtklazbps <\/strong><\/span>
\nJockey: T\u00a0Kelly <\/strong><\/span>
\nEarnings: $239,015\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 8\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

The name of this one reminded me of how powerful and awesome it is to be looking at storms that come through our countries no matter where we live.\u00a0 This one out of Lookin at Lucky came like a storm in his last race with a 115 speed over this distance in Stakes company for the win. A good solid runner and making his debut today in Graded company which is a well rewarded feat for his runs of late.\u00a0 Needs to impress and make a good performance to have further chances.\u00a0 Well regarded here.<\/p>\n

10 RETURN OF THE VETT <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: metallivett <\/strong><\/span>

\nEarnings: $241,537 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 15\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Out of Awesome Again.\u00a0 Coming off 2 wins in a row at Stakes (115 speed) and then Allowance company (108 speed) over 8 and 8.25 furlongs respectively.\u00a0\u00a0 So is in excellent form here for todays G2 race.\u00a0 This is his 2nd graded race for his career after a well run and still closing finish in a G1 in May last year.\u00a0 Probably could run a lot further in distancE?\u00a0 Looks like it to me.\u00a0 Is being pushed out slightly longer here for 8.5.\u00a0 See how he goes hey?\u00a0 I think he will get even better the further he is pushed out in length.<\/p>\n

11 ROAD TO THE WELL <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: juventus1 <\/strong><\/span>
\nJockey: L\u00a0Radzinski <\/strong><\/span>
\nEarnings: $136,041 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 54\/1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At 54\/1 this is the longshot of the race and whether it is the road to the well or the road to the end, time will tell.\u00a0 Low earnings mainly maiden and allowance racing.\u00a0 Failed last time out in Stakes racing finishing last in a field of 13 over 7 furlongs.\u00a0 Doesnt make for strong results leading into this G2 race does it?\u00a0 One could question as to why this one is even entered here?\u00a0 And yet I can see why the trainer has entered him here and regardless of the result will probably try at least one or twice more yet.\u00a0 Because his 2nd last time out he ran in a G1 race (14 runners) over 8 furlongs and finished a good and strong 3rd place.\u00a0 And was closing not fading.\u00a0 Definitely showed potential in that race.\u00a0 Which is why he is racing here.\u00a0 Will need to pick up the speed. And maybe some luck.\u00a0 But could surprise. Its what racing is all about.<\/p>\n

12 POWERFUL BREW <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: appower <\/strong><\/span>

\nEarnings: $433,680 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 12\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet another runner that has shown a ton of promise. This will be his 3rd graded race after a win at G2 level over 8.5 furlongs in October.\u00a0 That was followed by a strong finishing 4th at G1 level in the Japan Dirt Cup over 9 furlongs. Definitely wanted more distance that race.\u00a0 As his name suggests – a powerful horse but there is a rumour that he drinks some strange brew the night before every race.\u00a0 Nothing has been proven though and I really dont want to add to the controversy here.\u00a0 Not that there is a controversy of course! or scandal \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Ran 118 speed last time – has a huge chance to challenge the favourite here. His odds of 12\/1 dont support how good this one actually is.
\n13 SKIDMORE D’ORO <\/strong><\/span>
\nOwner: jrogue <\/strong><\/span>
\nJockey: N\u00a0Gardner <\/strong><\/span>
\nEarnings: $325,682 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 8\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Most of these horses in this race are seriously well bred and this one is no different out of Medaglia D’Oro x A.P. Indy x Sadler’s Wells.\u00a0 Consistent runner over the 9 furlongs with some good runs and speeds including a fast finishing 5th place in the G1 Bob Woodward Memorial in September 2016.\u00a0 I do think he is going to be wanting a lot more than the 8.5 furlongs on offer here.\u00a0 Watch for him coming through the field and fast in the run for the line.\u00a0 Will need to start his windup early though to have a chance.

\nEarnings: $1,714,660 <\/strong><\/span>
\nOdds: 15\/1<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Has two Group 1 wins over 8 and 9 furlongs with impressive speeds of 113 and up to 116 in his 2nd last outing.\u00a0 Last race the owner tried him again over the 10 furlongs after a few unsuccessful tries earlier. I get why they did though as BloodBoiling has been running out the 9 furlongs races very well. And still looked fresh in his stall afterwards!\u00a0 And his last run he was still closing as if he wanted more distance so well tried by the owner.\u00a0 Back in distance to what he has proven he can run before.\u00a0 Another with an excellent chance of placing or better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
