She is a multiple stakes winner having won a string of 3 stakes races starting in week 2965 with the Finland Loyalty Reward Stakes, she is a Grade III winner over this distance back in week 3105 in the Finland Sprint when she wired the field and hung on to win by \u00bc length. She likes to lead so she will need to get to the front and she will give them something to catch. She looked great in her final workout when she ran down a solid 5 furlongs on the course proper, she quickened up the last 2 and finished under a good hold. James22 said \u201cShe is a class horse and a Grade III winner so we are really hoping for a great performance here. She likes to get out in front and to give the rest of the field something to catch. Lets just hope that they don\u2019t catch her here\u201d. She will be in front for a long way and does look a superb chance here.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Moreover trained by Hollyyih:<\/B> A fantastic looking filly by More Than Ready who has won 5 of her 10 starts, and her career started with 4 wins on the trot. She is a stakes class filly who has had her last 8 runs in this class with 4 graded starts. She is a dual stakes winner but is yet to win a graded race but did run second in the Cadoka Stakes in week 3161 and second in the I Said Be Quiet Classic last time out. She recorded her career best speed figure last time out with a 96. She looked good as she went even time over the 6 furlongs on the turf proper and her track rider really let her slide the last 3 furlongs. Hollyyih said \u201cThe start to her career was amazing, she has not won for her past 4 races but she has had career best speed figures so she is going well. This is a nice race for her so hopefully she puts up a great performance. She is fresh and ken so all the indicators are positive\u201d. She looks to be another very strong contender.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Aymara trained by Lasthope1:<\/B> A very athletic looking filly by Red Ransom who has won 3 of her 10 starts. She is no stranger to this level of competition as she has had her last 8 starts at stakes level including her last 3 at graded level. She has won 2 stakes races but is yet to win at graded level but did run exceptionally well last time out in the Priority Princess Stakes at Grade III level when she ran a superb third when she recorded a 100 speed figure. She looked stunning in her final gallop when she worked stylishly over the 5 furlong with a run down over the final 2 furlongs. She came off the track kicking and squealing. Lasthope1 said \u201cWhat a nice piece of work, she is hard, fit and keen and quite obviously feeling very well. It was a fantastic run last time out when she finally cracked the 100 speed figure barrier. If she can repeat that then she will be right in this\u201d. She will be right there in the finish.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Woette\u2019s Wake trained by Woette1<\/B>: A well conformed filly by Mr Greeley who has won 4 of her 12 starts to date. She has most recently made the transition to the turf which has resulted in two 5<SUP>th<\/SUP> places. Prior to that she looked to be a solid stakes performer having 6 stakes starts in a row with a win back in week 3014 in the AP Goodbye Memorial. She looks to be favoured by the sprint trip but with speed figures in the mid 80\u2019s she looks to need significant improvement here. She looked nice as she went for a swim on the morning that I saw her, her handler took her for 2 laps of the pool and the came out looking very keen. Woette1 said \u201cShe has done all of her work earlier this week so all she needed was a swim. She obviously prefers the dirt but there was not a lot in it. Hopefully she is fresh and will run up to her best and hopefully that gives her a chance\u201d. She will need a career best performance here but she looks capable.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Symreality trained by Togaburt:<\/B> This is a compact looking filly by Symboli Kris S, and she has won 4 of her 19 starts. She is a stakes winner but her biggest victory was thee Desert Filly Juvenile at Grade III level back in week 2881 as a 2yo. This filly has had her last 3 runs on the turf and over long sprints and route trips. Her best speed figure is an 88 on the turf but her best n dirt is 84, which will need to be improved to win here. She looked solid in her final workout as she cantered a couple of laps of the sand track. Togaburt said \u201cShe did all of her fast work early in the week, she has been over the route distances most recently so she needed to be freshened up for this race so she has really only had one hard gallop since her last race. We are hoping for a bounce from her with the change in surface, we are positive she will run well\u201d. She will need a career best performance to challenge here.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Treviana trained by Bellissimo<\/B>: A very compact looking filly who has won 6 of her 12 races. She started her career on the turf but has really blossomed since the switch to the dirt 4 starts back, she has won 2 of those starts, both at allowance level. She has had 2 graded race starts with the best of those being a third place back in week 2986 in the Booker T Handicap at Grade III level. She ran superbly last time out when she came second in the Holy Golfball Memorial, but most impressive was the speed figure, a stunning 103. She raced right up of the speed and just weakened over the final part of the race. She looked magnificent as she trotted a couple of laps of the inner track and then stopped for a pick if grass as she walked leisurely from the track. Bellissimo looked very relaxed as he greeted his filly, he said \u201cShe has really trained on since that last race and in fact we think she has improved. She has not done much this week as she races best when she is fresh. She will look to get right up on the speed and hopefully she will be too strong for them in the stretch\u201d. With a 103 speed figure she is an extremely serious contender here. <\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Sj\u2019s Ghost Dance trained by Factorx<\/B>: A very tall looking filly by Silver Ghost and she has won 3 of her 5 starts. She is the least experienced of the runners in this field but she has 3 wins where she has wired the field, all be it with speed figures in the high 80\u2019s. She was beaten last time out in the Senorita Bingo Challenge. She is another who will be right up on the speed so if could be quite a challenge up front here. She looked good as she galloped over the 6 furlongs with Hanselburgh with both quickening over the final 3 furlongs with a really solid piece of work over the last furlong. She came of the track blowing a little. Factorx said \u201cWe wanted her to work with a companion as she can be lazy if she works by herself. She worked well and we were happy with that. She needed a final hit out as she has had an easy week until now. She will certainly need a good performance here to be in the finish but we are hoping she will run well\u201d. She will need a career best performance to figure here.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Hanselburgh trained by <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags\" \/><st1:country-region w:st=\"on\">Spain<\/st1:country-region><\/B>: A long and lanky filly by <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:City w:st=\"on\">Johannesburg<\/st1:City><\/st1:place> who has won 2 of her 8 career starts and as such she is eligible for much easier races than this. She won last time out in a NW2L race by a nose with an 85 speed figure when she led pretty much all the way. She looked good as she galloped over the 6 furlongs with Sj\u2019s Ghost Dance with both quickening over the final 3 furlongs with a really solid piece of work over the last furlong. <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:country-region w:st=\"on\">Spain<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place> said \u201cHere final work was good but this race is a massive leap of faith as we are completely skipping stakes company. She won nicely last time out, I know it was a nose margin but she did do it easily. Hopefully she is up to this, but it is with everything crossed\u201d. She looks to have her work seriously cut out here.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">New Found Pegasus trained by Calipso: A very athletic looking filly by Newfoundland who has won 5 of her 9 races and she is a 3 times stakes winner, she won last time out in the Dayton Storm Memorial where she came from off the speed on an off track to win by \u00bc length with a 90 speed figure. She makes her graded debut here but she certainly looks like one who has further improvement in her. She looked good as all he did this week was go for long slow walks with the occasional roll in the sand. Calipso said \u201cShe took a while to get over that gutbusting run in the Dayton Storm as the track was wet, so we have been easy on her for the past week or so. She has had plenty of work so she is fit and now bright and keen. The distance is not of concern and we are hoping for a very bold showing here\u201d. She looks to be another with claims here but the step up in class is the query.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">No tips forthcoming from me, just good luck to all runners!!<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Simon<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Treviana to triumph in Honeymoon?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/328"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4364\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
