Overview: The \u201cLea\u2019s Sand Special\u201d Stake, a 6 furlong event, contested over a firm Queensland turf course, has drawn a well balanced field of six colts and two fillies featuring Bbudgie\u2019s\u2019s Far Call as a modest 7\/2 favorite. Trainer Alagou\u2019s Test The Slew and Bizen\u2019s Bullet\u2019s Edge, both coming off impressive Stakes wins are 4\/1 and 5\/1 respectively and should provide the main competition. The longest odds given here are 8\/1 and that means they all have a decent shot at the purse.<\/P>

Training: ( 3 ) weeks since last race Maiden Spl Weight ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview: Son of Green<\/st1:PlaceName> Desert<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> scored an impressive Maiden victory in his only start, apparently he\u2019s fit and sharp as trainer Bbudgies has decided to run him back on only three weeks reat and immediately move Far Call into Stakes competition. He like to stalk the early leader but there\u2019s plenty of speed in this field and the pace is probably going to be pretty \u201chot\u201d. I think Far Call has a very promising future ahead of him but I would have a hard time betting him as the favorite here, should get some valuable experience.<\/P>

Training:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 5 ) weeks since last race 95,000 Stake ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview: This improving son of Tessa Rosa(Aus) is a head shy of being unbeaten in his three turf tries, last race Test The Slew rallied dramatically to win the Ratty Dancer Stake. Trainer Alagou has a good one here and his hardest choice might turn out to be which surface to run him on as \u201cSlew\u201d has also won a Stake on the dirt at first asking, which is quite an accomplishment. I think he\u2019ll be flying late and has an excellent chance to score here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Prediction ( 2nd )<\/B><\/P>

Training:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 10 ) weeks since last race 90,000 Stake ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview: It\u2019s obvious that this classy son of Langfuhr loves the turf. Bullet\u2019s Edge has never been worse then 2nd<\/SUP>, has annexed ( 2 ) Stakes wins in his last two starts. If that\u2019s not enough to recommend him he also has a top jocket in Wyatt, excellent early speed and should have no problem securing a good position early. Bullet\u2019s Edge is lightly raced and well rested, so it\u2019s obvious that trainer BIZNES takes great care in spotting him. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Prediction ( 1st )<\/B><\/P>

Training: ( 7 ) weeks since last race Conditioned Allowance ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One look at the breeding lines of Change O\u2019 Luck and two things are immediately obvious, he\u2019ll like the turf and the Round Table influence means he\u2019ll probably have no problems routing, I\u2019m not sure if this is the spot trainer Sabalou is pointing for, I\u2019m thinking that he may be running him a bit short here to tune him for the lucrative longer routes coming up. Either way, Change O\u2019 Luck is well rested and should get up for a share of this purse, look for him to \u201cFLY\u201d late, but I think he\u2019ll be a bit short here. .\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Prediction ( 3rd )<\/B><\/P>

Training: ( 7 ) weeks since last race Grade-3 Stake ( 9th<\/SUP> )<\/P>

Overview: It will be interesting to see how Go Vertigo fares in his first grass try. His breeding suggests that the dirt will more than likely be his preference, however he does have the stretch running running style that usually fits the turf course well. He\u2019s fresh and \u00a0<\/SPAN>a slice of this purse certainly is possible, but even though he tried a Grade-3 last out this is still a healthy class jump for Go Vertigo.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Training: ( 7 ) weeks since last race Conditioned Allowance ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview: At first glance, the fact that P Indy P had to drop into the Maiden claiming ranks to score his first win, would cause most handicappers to dismiss his chances here. \u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/P>

However, his next score an allowance win in an improving and competitive 74 speed figure should make most take a closer look. I also like his running style, just off the leaders and also the nice seven week spacing. It definitely would be an upset if he wins but a minor share is well within his capabilities.<\/P>

Training:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 5 ) weeks since last race Maiden Spl Weight ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview: Scored a nice maiden win in her only effort, but did it in a rather uninspiring 64 speed rating. While this daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar (Ire) is definitely bred for the turf he just seems to have several strikes against her in this crowd. She needs to improve her speed figure by about 12 points to challenge these and also she is not going to get a prime closeup early position and to rally past her classy male challengers looks like too tall an order. Looks promising and with some more seasoning could challenge this level after several more races.<\/P>

Training:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 10 ) weeks since last race Maiden Spl Weight ( 1st )<\/P>

Overview: Trainer Snakesfoot has taken an interesting approach to training Crusades Again. First he entered Crusaders Again in a Stake race on the dirt and even though she finished sixth that day she did flash some good early speed and recorded a decent 66 speed rating, interestingly Snakesfoot then moved her to the turf and Crusaders early speed translated to the grass and he scored her Maiden win in her 2nd<\/SUP> try. Snakesfoot has given Crusaders Again a good rest and is now hunting for bigger game, I think she\u2019ll challenge for the lead early, and should give a good account but I think there\u2019s too much class here.<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Race Preview:<\/B> I look for Bullet\u2019s Edge, Crusaders Again, P Indy P and Far Call to challenge for the lead early, with Bullet\u2019s edge able to draw clear and Test The Slew (Aus) and Change O\u2019 Luck (Aus) in \u201cHOT\u201d pursuit late.<\/P>
