The Set-Up:<\/FONT><\/STRONG>\u00a0 It’s not the Breeder’s Bowl but it is\u00a0a Grade 1 for 3yo fillies at 6.5f on the dirt.\u00a0 There’s some fire on the front-end, a couple of quality stalkers, and some likely looking closers. O.K., time to get off the fence.<\/FONT><\/P> The Field:<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P> FEUERBEFEHL –<\/STRONG> (CAT THIEF x FORTY NINER x HALO) – SARAVA02<\/EM> – <\/STRONG>A nice filly coming off an 8 week break. Will be primed for this. Definite contender. 9\/1<\/FONT><\/P> FLEETWOOD MIA<\/STRONG> – (STRIKE THE GOLD x SEATTLE SLEW x HIS MAJESTY) – FLEETWOOD<\/STRONG><\/EM> – Throw out her last start route failure, and you’re left with a filly who’s always there and all class. 4\/1<\/FONT><\/P> WAKI SLAM<\/STRONG> – (GRAND SLAM x MISWAKI x GREEN DESERT) – CHLOEDAWG<\/STRONG><\/EM> – She’s not crazy about off tracks or routes, but she sure likes the looks off this assignment. She’s right there. 4\/1<\/FONT><\/P> PLEASANT LASS<\/STRONG> – (PLEASANTLY PERFECT x NIGHT SHIFT x CUTLASS) – RICHARDOBE<\/STRONG><\/EM> – She’s mixing surfaces with some success, and a couple of nice G3 efforts put her in the picture here. 12\/1<\/FONT><\/P> SPEEDOMETER<\/STRONG> – (STORM CAT x GONE WEST x BUCKPASSER) – SIMSTERS1<\/STRONG><\/EM> – Her early promise suggested a rise to the top – she’s not quite there and she’s starting to find a few a bit tough. Not out of it though. 5\/1<\/FONT><\/P> KOKO TAYLOR<\/STRONG> – (HIGH YIELD x CAPOTE x FORTY NINER) – BANDITKLLR<\/STRONG><\/EM> – This one’s interesting. She was looking old and tired from constant tough competition.\u00a0She then got a slight breather before really nailing a stakes field last start.\u00a0She has a chance but I’m not crazy about the 7\/2.<\/FONT><\/P> FLASH JONES<\/STRONG> – (SMARTY JONES x UNREAL ZEAL x BARACHOIS) – DERBYBOUND<\/STRONG><\/EM> – She knows how to win, but does she know how to win Grade 1’s. Doubtful. 20\/1<\/FONT><\/P> HIGH ON CAPOTE<\/STRONG> – (HIGH YIELD x CAPOTE x CONQUISTADOR CIELO) – BRYANJ79<\/STRONG><\/EM> – Well beaten at ALW level last start. This has to be a tough test. 12\/1<\/FONT><\/P> TACTICAL RAT<\/STRONG> – (TACTICAL CAT x RED RANSOM x MILL REEF) – EDENRIDGE<\/STRONG><\/EM> – Nice stakes placing last start and she could like coming back a furlong for this. The speed set-up could see her dash clear past the quarter pole; but there’s no longer home stretch than a Grade 1 home stretch. 8\/1<\/FONT><\/P> OLD FOOL<\/STRONG> – (E DUBAI x STORM CAT x MT. LIVERMORE) – SPRINTBARN<\/STRONG><\/EM> – Very consistent at ALW level. Thrown in the deep end for her stakes debut. Will she sink or swim? 25\/1<\/FONT><\/P> ERMINGTON DROP<\/STRONG> – (EAVESDROPPER x CAT THIEF x CRYPTOCLEARANCE) – BIZALLS1<\/STRONG><\/EM> – Strictly speaking, this looks beyond her. But she’s the likely speed, and if they forget she’s out there, well…. stranger things have happened. 12\/1<\/FONT><\/P> TIPS:<\/U>\u00a0\u00a0 1.\u00a0 FLEETWOOD MIA\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2.\u00a0 WAKI SLAM\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3.\u00a0 TACTICAL RAT\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4.\u00a0\u00a0FEUERBEFEHL<\/STRONG><\/P> <\/FONT>\u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Feast Or Famine For Front-End Flyers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":380,"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-4963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4963","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\/380"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4963\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
