<\/FONT><\/P>

Almost a full field for todays feature over a mile on the Dirt course but by the looks of the morning line more than a third of the field can be discounted in terms of finding the winner. Let’s take a look at thestrengths and weakness of each runner-<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P><\/FONT>

EXILE ON MAIN ST <\/FONT>(THUNDER GULCH x DANEHILL x SEATTLE SLEW)<\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/FONT><\/STRONG>
<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Two recent graded wins over this trip, five recent runs with sp’s over 100, ranked number 3 over this trip. Seems certain to run at least a 100 sp.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Rather disapointing last run, never run as well on short rest (only three weeks since last run), even when she’s won she never quite sees out this trip.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

More negatives than positives for me, why run the third ranked filly only two weeks before the Breeders Bowl ? Especially when she doesn’t run as well on short rest. Passed over today.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P><\/FONT>

BUDA AT THE RODEO <\/FONT>(POSSE x SADLER’S WELLS x MR. PROSPECTOR)<\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/FONT><\/STRONG>
<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Three runs in a row over 100sp, this looks about her trip, good fourth in a Grade II latest with a 107 sp.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Never won a stakes, never mind a graded race, had basically looked an allowance prior to that last run, asking a lot to expect further improvement on her 30th<\/SUP> run.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

That last run gives her a chance but it has the look of a \u201ccareer run\u201d about it and I can’t see a win today.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P><\/FONT>

KRUKA(KY) <\/FONT>(HENNESSY x NIJINSKY II x CAPOTE)<\/FONT> <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Clearly still improving, this looks a better trip after fading in two recent 9f tries and plenty of stakes experience.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Yet to break the 100 sp barrier, even this mile looks too far, only one recent win.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Looks to be crying out for 6-7f and will be in rthe lead early here. Will get caught though as she simply doesn’t have the form for this.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P>

AHEAD <\/FONT>(DUBAI DESTINATION x SUMMER SQUALL x IN THE WINGS(GB))<\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/FONT><\/STRONG>
<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Four recent wins , all in stakes races, four recent sp’s over the magic 100.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Never won a graded race, in fact struggled when tried, even a best from her of 104 shouldn’tbe enough to win here.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Another who’s form isn’t good enough, in fact she must be worth another try on grass over this trip. No win today.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P><\/FONT>

ESPRESSO D’ITALIA <\/FONT>(MEDAGLIA D’ORO x MISWAKI x SEEKING THE GOLD)<\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/FONT><\/STRONG>
<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Six consecutive good runs in graded races , with a win, a second and a third. All of those over 100 sp and her best of 107 puts he right in the picture here.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Lots of stamina in that pedigree and with each run over 8f she’s looked more and more as though 10f should be her trip.Comes from a mile back and with a lot of early speed here that may be difficult.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVARALL <\/FONT><\/P>

Could well get up on the wire but i’d love to see her at 10f. Should make the money but don’t know about the win.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/STRONG>
<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Won a Grade III latest over this trip with a 111 sp , has four other recent runsover the 100 mark recently. Clearly in great form, another 111 would walk away with this.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Has tended to follow a couple of great runs with a couple of stinkers, with no apparent reason. Has now run 29 times, so was thtat 111 a blip?<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Very interesting on that last run alone. In her groups of good runs she has looked to be improving and could be that she’s finally turned the corner. Even a couple of points under the 111 would be enough here and she’s the likely winner for me.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Won an allowance two runs back with a 99 sp.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Never broken 100, only 1 stakes win (as a two year old) basically an allowance horse at best.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Will be bringing up the rear.<\/FONT><\/P>

WAKIWILD <\/FONT>(FOREST WILDCAT x MISWAKI x NIJINSKY II)<\/FONT><\/FONT>

<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Recent grade II win, five recent runs over 100 sp, including a 110 two runs back. That would win here you’d think, consistantly graded class.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Sometimes throws up a poor run (compared to her other races) , tendancy to find one too good, however well she runs.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVARALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Surprised she’s never tackles turf, but must be in the top three based on that 110. A bit flaky, so I’ll opposeher today but definite money earner and will come close.<\/FONT><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Won four of her last seven, including a 104 sp latest to record her third in a row. Looks to have a little improvement left yet.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

That latest was he first over 100 and there a not that many over 90. Huge jump from allowance to graded level, doesn’t have enough solid form.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Not enough form at this level and basically looks an allowance horse.<\/FONT><\/P>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Loads of graded experience and loads of 100 + sp’s. Won two in a row with 108 and 112 sp’s and either of those could be good enough today.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Not that many, hasn’t won as many as she could have, can she run to her recent level after 36 races?<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Asking a lot for her to run another 112 after 36 races and for me she will run a bit short of that and get third. Of course another 112 would see a win.<\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/STRONG>
<\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Graded win last time out with a 111 sp and five other recent wins means she’s in top form. This is her trip and she’s won eighteen times.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

She’s been running in allowances prior to that last win, again after 34 runs can she really run another 111? Surely not.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

In an allowance she’d win but again another who may struggle to repeat her last run afterso many races. Will reach the money, probable fourth.<\/FONT><\/P>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Ten wins and a good 106 sp latest, improved with her first try on dirt .<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Doesn’t get the trip and looks desparate for a 7f run, has struggled in stakes never mind allowances.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Won’t last home against some good runners and looks out of her depth. Would love to see her at 7f on the dirt.<\/FONT><\/P>

POSITIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Lightly raced with onlt three runs, ran a 93 on second run.<\/FONT><\/P>

NEGATIVES<\/FONT><\/P>

Only three races and struggled in a stakes latest. Much too early for her here, needs more experience.<\/FONT><\/P>

OVERALL<\/FONT><\/P>

Needs some allowance runs to get her trip and herr confidence, lovely pedigree but not today.<\/FONT><\/P>
