The Spotlight feature takes a quick look at the race program and here are my picks for the graded races on Saturday:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
NEW MARKET HANDICAP-Victoria<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 6-Blushing Cadet 5\/1-Enters off a refresher win in allowance group after 3 month breather, looks ready for this one.<\/p>\n 1-I Am Groot\u00a0 5\/1-Missed by under a stride when fourth in last with monster late run, right there again.<\/p>\n 3-Invincible Spoe\u00a0 5\/1-Third in three-way photo in last start, not out of the picture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HILL SIDE CHALENGE-Florida<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 12-Kitten’s Star TX\u00a0 13\/1-Moved to turf in late 2017 and showed she is for real winning listed by 2 with 115 speed.\u00a0 Gains graded win.<\/p>\n 1-Black Jack Charm\u00a0 29\/1-Took long 10-month hiatus and returned with career best speed of 107 on off track.\u00a0 Back to dry surface, can it get better at a price with jump to graded?<\/p>\n 4-Selfdoute\u00a0 12\/1-Won last four in a row on turf by comfortable margins, jumps to graded looking to extend streak.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CADOKA STAKES-Oregon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 8-Mbuna Dance\u00a0 6\/1-Has won 6 races on dirt & turf with a second on poly.\u00a0 Has streak of 5 in a row with last four in listed stakes.\u00a0 Extends streak with grade win.<\/p>\n 10-Moscova Nights\u00a0 6\/1-Dropped to allowance after off board listed stake race.\u00a0 Finished 1 & 2 in allowance and looks to have act back together.<\/p>\n 2-Comet Cadet\u00a0 7\/1-Enters off solid win in listed stake and only out of money once in seven starts, contender.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NAKAYAMA LADY-Japan<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 2-Dansili’s Form\u00a0 3\/1-Finished fifth in graded recently after a three month layoff with nice late run effort.\u00a0 Second start after rest is the charm.<\/p>\n 6-Your Face\u00a0 3\/1-ITM 75% of starts, got beat after taking late lead in listed at 9.5f, trims back to 9f and could be better opportunity.<\/p>\n 1-Vorsoisson 9\/2-Likes to run on lead but hasn’t been able to cross line on top since June.\u00a0 May have enough left to get some minor spoils.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE KEWNEY-Victoria<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 5-Backwards W\u00a0 3\/1-Won four of last five by good margins, goes mile this time and should adapt easily to distance extension.<\/p>\n 4-My Lady Approach\u00a0 5\/2-Favorite is front runner who will battle with top choice throughout race on the lead.<\/p>\n 7-Isuntza\u00a0\u00a0 4\/1-Fished first or second in all 8 career turf starts, one not to ignore.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n YE OLE SHOPPING EXCHANGE-Victoria<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 4-Tweet Me\u00a0 7\/1-Climbing the ladder nicely, winning allowance, listed and graded stakes.\u00a0 Win streak now at four in a row and can extend.<\/p>\n 9-American Crime\u00a0 5\/2-Picked up pair of good wins in listed stakes, moves back to graded competition.\u00a0 110+ speeds are in his back pocket and he could rip one off.<\/p>\n 5-Wanna Be The One\u00a0 25\/1-Longshot has hit board in last two and high odds, hitting career best speeds in each.\u00a0 Could third one be another charm?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NEW ZEALAND OAKS-New Zealand<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 11-Final Realm 5\/1-Two very good wins in last pair of starts.\u00a0 Rallied from 10 back to win by 2 in 9.5f in last start, earns the call here.<\/p>\n 7-Otto Moncada\u00a0 7\/1-Tested 10 furlongs in last and chopped 12 length deficit to a bit over 3 finishing third.\u00a0 Extra 2 furlongs could help here.<\/p>\n 9-Haugh\u00a0 12\/1-Won by four lengths in allowance recently going 9 furlongs.\u00a0 This race is 12 furlongs and maybe she likes the longer routes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CZE<\/strong><\/span>CH 2000 GUINEAS-Czech Republic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 8-Mr Wedneseay\u00a0 4\/1-Turf converter with success, winning three of four and includes a second.\u00a0 Last win in graded with 100 speed, gets edge.<\/p>\n 3-Inner Sunset\u00a0 6\/1-Perfect three for three since moving to turf, fourth is on the horizon.<\/p>\n 4-Settle For More\u00a0 5\/2-Favorite also switched to turf recently and has won both starts he’s been in, will push the issue.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CZE<\/strong>CH 1000 GUINEAS-Czech Republic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 8-Ivarsaur Boneless 9\/2-Ran first or second in last six inclusive of three listed stakes.\u00a0 Hard to envision she won’t be there again.<\/p>\n 5-Painted Charger 4\/1-Doing well with stakes with 2 wins and second in listed, finished third in last with first try in graded.<\/p>\n 7-Sign The Petition 3\/1-Also has had good trips in listed stakes winning two of four outings with a second, figures to be competitive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The
