A key to success for\u00a0WHILE WE WAIT seems to be getting out to an early lead, look to see him break early and try to take the field wire to wire.<\/p>\n HENNY’S GOLD is sired by HENNY HUGHES x TAPIT and is running for the barba stable.\u00a0 HENNY’S GOLD has won in 4 times in 10 starts for a 40% win rate and has a solid shot to finish among the leaders in todays race.<\/p>\n 12 Month Top Speed: 110.2 (5) HENNY’S GOLD is another contender who has struggled with consistency through his career having put together six victories, including two in stakes races, while posting another six runs where he finished significantly back from the leaders.\u00a0\u00a0HENNY’S GOLD will be looking to match his career high speed from his last outing, which will be needed if he is to finish among the front of the pack in this field.<\/p>\n CORT OF A PEEL is sired by SUCCESSFUL APPEAL x HENNESSY and is running for the rac3 stable.\u00a0 CORT OF A PEEL has won in 4 times in 10 starts for a 40% win rate and is projected to finish among the leaders in todays race.<\/p>\n 12 Month Top Speed: 110.9 (2) CORT OF A PEEL is still chasing down his first stakes victory after having a solid allowance record.\u00a0 He has only once broken the 100 speed barrier when he posted a career best 110 speed in his last outing, another high 100’s speed will be needed if\u00a0CORT OF A PEEL is to have a chance to take this field.<\/p>\n DONOVAN’S DIAL is sired by DIALED IN x CORINTHIAN and is running for the vampire4 stable.\u00a0 DONOVAN’S DIAL has won in 6 times in 16 starts for a 38% win rate and has a solid shot to finish among the leaders in todays race.<\/p>\n 12 Month Top Speed: 108.3 (7) DONOVAN’S DIAL has been struggling to return to the form he had as a two year old where he was victorious in half of his starts and only finished outside the top three once in a graded field where he still posted career high speeds.\u00a0\u00a0DONOVAN’S DIAL was dropped to allowance races for his past two starts, and after posting top two finishes in both races he will be looking to carry that success back into the stakes race today.<\/p>\n OG TO HONOR HUMOR is sired by TO HONOR AND SERVE x DISTORTED HUMOR and is running for the baffie0 stable.\u00a0 OG TO HONOR HUMOR has won in 5 times in 16 starts for a 31% win rate and is a favourite to finish at the front in todays race.<\/p>\n 12 Month Top Speed: 115.8 (1) OG TO HONOR HUMOR is the oddsmakers favourite to win, and having posted the highest career speed and consistently high speeds he will be hard to beat.\u00a0\u00a0OG TO HONOR HUMOR will likely stalk just off the lead, and will need to keep the pace up as there are a few strong closers who will be trying to close the gap down the stretch.<\/p>\n Holeshot:\u00a0READY FOR
