Za very German sounding Sour Kraut Cup Grade II <\/B>
A mile and one half Firm Turf $250,000 Fillies and mares, 3 years old and up . A field of 11 ladies meets the starter here lets take a look at them.<\/P>
PP1 WESTERN PASS <\/B>bomber93 <\/B><\/U><\/A>C Wyatt <\/B><\/U><\/A>10\/1 <\/P><\/B> Great odds for a horse with the best jockey in Queensland aboard i swear sometimes he can get off and carry them to the line thats how good he is. This mare loves stakes and graded races over the longer routes . She will get back in the field but theres a long run in here and the closer really get home the last 100m as its a little up hill dont leave her out of you Quinella\u2019s .<\/P> PP2 HASTE QUENNEVI <\/B>fortune2 <\/B><\/U><\/A>S DeBerg <\/B><\/U><\/A>9\/1<\/P><\/B> Lightly raced budget bred who has taken all before her a she come through the ranks 9 starts 4wins 3 placings says it all great 2nd G2 company last time out who knows how far she will go . Will sit on pace and be fighting all the way to the line. As a lover of a bit of budget breeding myself ill be whatching her with interest .<\/P> PP3 KID THUNDER <\/B>bountyhawk <\/B><\/U><\/A>C Bollinger <\/B><\/U><\/A>16\/1 <\/P><\/B> Honest enough mare but yet to race up to this quality of field it will be interesting to see how she handles it may struggle at this distance in a fast run race.<\/P> PP4 CARSON A. S. <\/B>johnstable <\/B><\/U><\/A>S Scriven <\/B><\/U><\/A>5\/1 <\/P><\/B> One of the more fancied runners she has won her last five on the trot a great training performance by her trainer she has won 18 races a feat no often bettered has won over the distance loves the wet but has also found dry tracks no problem a very versatile mare will trail the leaders to the stretch then try on run them down would have to have great chance on recent form.<\/P> PP5 SWEET SUNSHYNE(IRE) <\/B>375stud <\/B><\/U><\/A>D Papandrea <\/B><\/U><\/A>12\/1 <\/P><\/B> Another who may find this a little rich has mainly be racing lately in stakes class with mixed success. Graded tries have so far produced very little and this is a pretty strong G2 field may well be the early leader .<\/P> PP6 DIVINE DIVINITY(IRE) <\/B>shamran5 <\/B><\/U><\/A>V Hull <\/B><\/U><\/A>10\/1<\/P><\/B> 4yrold HIGH CHAPARRAL (IRE) <\/B><\/A>mare and they have been winning everything lately but another who found graded racing a bit beyond her at this stage of her career hard to rally get a line on her for this but i think she will be safely held did win well albeit in allowance company over this distance 2 stats ago. On pace runner .<\/P> PP7 MAAD <\/B>sorrento <\/B><\/U><\/A>T Phillips <\/B><\/U><\/A>7\/1 <\/P><\/B> Trained on the track by the afore mentioned jacklad . She never runs a bad race and excels around these distances . Dipping her toes in the graded pool for the first time here and will have to be taken on trust as to her ability to handle graded racing but knowing her trainer as i do he will have her cherry ripe for this and if he wins he will be shouting the ressy team all night so go MAAD.<\/P> PP8 WHAT A STRIKE <\/B>kurvin <\/B><\/U><\/A>S Gann <\/B><\/U><\/A>21\/1 <\/P><\/B> The outsider of the field more an allowance or stakes runner who has not registered the sps required for this graded race may struggle with these mares and be better suited to stakes company . Will race in midfield to the turn and look to run on.<\/P> PP9 KISS OR KILL <\/B>biznes <\/B><\/U><\/A>Y Carpenter <\/B><\/U><\/A><\/P> The ruling favourite is also trained an the track marking another opportunity for res. boys and gals to celebrate into the wee small hours of Sunday .Has won 10 of 27 and $1,145,207 <\/B>in stakes. Has yet to run anywhere near this distance so makes her a very interesting favourite and just maybe the long odds on some of the others may well be worth taking . Trainer tells me that due to the drop of in for since her early days its time to try something a little different to se if she will regain form . Heres hoping this once top filly returns to that good form soon or she may well end up in the matrons paddock come new years day.<\/P> PP10 LAPHROAIG <\/B>waremblem8 <\/B><\/U><\/A>T Cox <\/B><\/U><\/A>6\/1 <\/P><\/B> Seems to love this distance she has won at doth tries at it .Take no notice of grade run 2 starts back when she was tripped up by the wet track . Has improved as the distances have got longer and will race handy to the pace and may outstay them all . With 10 runs in the money from just 13 starts will be in the photo at the finish.<\/P> P11 TREE SPIRIT <\/B>anymore <\/B><\/U><\/A>M Radke <\/B><\/U><\/A><\/P> This is the mare i think they all have to beat a genuine G1 performer . This WOODMAN<\/B> 5yrold has proved she can beat most of the top mares going around . Has to travel 2furlongs further than she has ever done so i suppose that give the others abit of hope that she wont stay the journey her breeding suggests that wont be the case with some strong staying blood right through her pedigree . Will keep them all honest by running on the pace and it may be hard for the closers to make up ground in the run home.<\/P> 1ST <\/B>P11 TREE SPIRIT <\/P> 2ND PP7 MAAD <\/P> 3RD PP1 WESTERN PASS <\/P> GOOD LUCK TO ALL RUNNERS<\/P> P.S.
