It looks like a relatively soft field, which gives each of these girls a great opportunity to shine.<\/p>\n<p>On the inside will be <i>Pisano2<\/i>\u2019s <b>Fantastic Vision<\/b>, a Fantastic Light filly with five races and two wins to her name.  She has earned paychecks in graded races twice and has a top speed figure of 74.  She\u2019s been a consistent gal and ought to pick up a paycheck at least.  She has a very good shot at hitting the board, even with a lousy jock up.<\/p>\n<p>Next is <i>Delta4tiger<\/i>\u2019s <b>Ethnography<\/b>, who has an impressive record of three wins from three starts.  She has improved with each outing and has a stakes win to her name, but her top speed so far is a 70.  She has absolutely earned a spot here, but will need to step it up another notch to be a factor.<\/p>\n<p><i>Marilyn847<\/i>\u2019s <b>Lucky\u2019s Hotty<\/b> is on a hot three-race winning streak.  She also has 21%-winning jock Z Kentucky aboard.  She has won a couple of stakes with short fields and is taking the next logical step here.  She seems happy to be stretching out and could do some real damage.  The most accomplished horse in the field with the best jockey \u2013 she\u2019s a good deal at 6\/1.<\/p>\n<p>Next door is the nicely-named <b>Andromache<\/b>.  Kingmambo x Sadler\u2019s Wells filly will be one to watch once she stretches out past a mile.  She\u2019s no slouch sprinting, either, and has a race-high speed figure of 77. <i>Catallus<\/i>\u2019 filly is a serious threat to take the race and it will be interesting to see how she does in her first graded affair.  Too bad about the lousy jock, but keep a sharp eye on her anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Then comes the longshot, <i>Mihiri<\/i>\u2019s <b>Luigia del Medici<\/b>.  She started out very promising, winning her first two starts (including a stakes).  But she has sputtered and thrown two races with 40-something figs.  I\u2019d like to see this modestly-bred gal return to form, but she h as a lot of proving to do after those last two outings.<\/p>\n<p><i>Billy2shoe<\/i>\u2019s <b>Nacho Bob<\/b> is the slight favorite at 5\/2, but could only manage to find a poor excuse for a rider this weekend.  She\u2019s won 2 of 3, the exception being a second in her debut on an off track.  Her best fig is a 75 \u2013 not quite as good as Catallus\u2019 girl, but quite solid.  She\u2019s well-bred for the distance and has a good shot at taking the race. <\/p>\n<p>Last up is <b>Rio Chix<\/b>, <i>Alien23<\/i>\u2019s Oratorio filly.  She\u2019s shown a lot of spunk in her two starts, winning twice and finishing second once.  Her top speed of 75 puts her right in the mix here and she ran well in a competitive race last time out.  She\u2019ll have a very nice rider aboard, giving her every opportunity to put her best foot forward.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck and may your horses come back safe and sound!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grade II More Glare Stakes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"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-4662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4662","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\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4662\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
