The racing challenge continues here in We\u2019ll take a look at the market, before working our way down through the betting order 9\/2 \u2013 Glorious Sunset 5\/1 \u2013 Septic Squall, Night Signal 6\/1 \u2013 Double Malted 7\/1 \u2013 Hit Sugaya 8\/1 \u2013 Ten Stone Five 9\/1 \u2013 Kela Indy 12\/1 – Zedital 13\/1 \u2013 Spirit Seeker 14\/1 \u2013 Alpine Wonder 21\/1 \u2013 BPB Markane 65\/1 \u2013 Outta Ransom 9\/2 \u2013 Glorious Sunset <\/B>– # 12 \u2013 (EAAA) \u2013 He\u2019s earned the top spot in the early market with half a dozen impressive, and improving, performances. He\u2019s never gone home from the track without a cheque, and although he\u2019s yet to win at black type level, he\u2019s run second and third in ungraded stakes races at each of his last two outings. From the beginning, each run, with just one exception, has shown an increase in speed ratings, so it\u2019s only natural to allow for yet another personal best here. His route record stands at 1-1-1 from 3, a point in his favour, with several of his opponents attempting the mile for the first time. A son of top rate sire Mineshaft<\/I>, he\u2019s the first foal of the beautifully bred Misty Sunset<\/B> (Danzig \/ Alydar<\/I>), a lightly raced winner of three from fourteen, who also raced exclusively in the londoner <\/B>colours. Drawing wide has been of no consequence in a couple of previous races, and his top jockey will probably elect to settle Glorious Sunset<\/B> midfield, saving the best for last. 5\/1 \u2013 Septic Squall<\/B> – # 6 \u2013 (Qld) \u2013 This colt is no stranger to quality opposition, having bypassed the usual maiden start, winning an allowance first time out, then progressing to black type contests, where he\u2019s proven more than capable in seven subsequent starts. The highlights of his career include an ungraded stakes win, second in the Coventry Stakes-G3<\/I> and third in the Bad Deal Stakes-G3<\/I>. From his eight starts, he\u2019s failed to finish on the podium just twice, both in Graded company, but that includes a sixth in on World Cup day when beaten just two and a half lengths in a Grade 1 event. Septic Squall<\/B> is a son of Septieme Ceil <\/I>from Bart\u2019s Son<\/B> (Summer Squall \/ Alleged<\/I>), the strangely named mare twice victorious in stakes races from a brief career of just eight starts. Of some concern is the colt\u2019s most recent outing, when he failed to run out the trip at his first route attempt. He\u2019s likely to settle just beyond midfield, and sozzled<\/B> will be waiting expectantly for the late finish. 5\/1 \u2013 Night Signal <\/B>– # 11 \u2013 (Qld) \u2013 A veteran of nine starts as a juvenile, he\u2019s never gone home empty handed, and lines up for this off an ideal preparation, having tasted black type victory at his most recent outing, when most convincing over the eight and a half. The 93 speed rating he posted seven weeks ago is the highest number on the form guide, and with that speed figure scored over these conditions, he\u2019s perhaps the runner which other trainers will be using as their benchmark. It\u2019s only early in his three year old campaign, but he has been given every opportunity to establish him as an allowance runner before retuning him to the higher competition. He races in stakes company for just the fourth time this week, have run third and first at his two recent starts. Night Signal<\/B> is a son of Night Shift<\/I>, from Storm Signal<\/B> (Lear Fan \/ Seeking the Gold<\/I>), the first foal of a canismajor<\/B> \u2018exclusive\u2019 winner of four from eighteen. Likely to settle back in the field, and with a top hoop aboard, connections can confidently expect a big finish. \u00a0<\/SPAN> 6\/1 \u2013 Double Malted <\/B>– # 5 \u2013 (EAAA) \u2013 A more than smart young colt with an excellent record to date, this fellow boasts three wins and three seconds from seven starts, with the only minor glitch coming on World Cup Day when he was outpointed by a very smart Grade 1 field. The trainer is not afraid to mix his racing classes, as, perhaps unconventionally; he comes into this off a morale boosting allowance win, after having tasted victory in the Grade 3 Coventry Steaks<\/I> at just his third career run. That may well prove to be a training master stroke from demon123<\/B>, as the 1.36.6 he ran that that day is equal fastest mile winning time of all of today\u2019s contenders, matched only by Ten Stone Five<\/B>. Double Malted<\/B> is a scratchbred son of Elvstroem \/ Caerleon \/ Manila<\/I>. He\u2019s proven himself competent at allowance, ungraded and graded level and has every chance of keeping his impressive one-two record intact. He won\u2019t be far off the pace in the early running, and he\u2019s done more than enough to justify the confidence of connections. 7\/1 \u2013 Hitsugaya<\/B> – # 4 \u2013 ( 8\/1 \u2013 Ten Stone 9\/1 \u2013 Kela Indy<\/B> – # 9 \u2013 (Qld) \u2013 With ten juvenile starts from last season, this colt lines up with the most experience of the runners in this race. It\u2019s probably fair to say he was plodding for his first half dozen runs, before taking that next step. His four most recent runs have seen him develop into a solid stakes quality runner. Four starts back he won an owner restricted allowance against nineteen opponents, quickly to follow it up with another, over the mile he faces this week, in the impressive time of 1.37.0. Elevated to stakes racing, albeit in small fields, he recorded a third and, most recently, a second placing at this level. A son of the unheralded Kela<\/I>, from A.P. You<\/B> (A.P. Indy \/ Youth<\/I>), his dam won four minor races from 33. Kela Indy<\/B> is her fifth offspring, and the first to earn black type. Likely to settle two or three lengths off the pace, he\u2019ll need a significant personal best to be a winning chance, but he\u2019s answering the challenges as they are presented by graywolf6 <\/B>and is not without a chance. 12\/1 \u2013 Zedital<\/B> – # 2 \u2013 (Alpine) \u2013 Another who makes handicapping this race almost impossible, this colt would ordinarily been seen to be jumping too high, too soon. However, his debut run was so impressive it is impossible to dismiss him as a genuine threat here. He beat a couple of black type performers in his only run to date, and won with such authority that there was clearly plenty in the tank which was not called upon. Very nicely bred, he\u2019s by Pivotal<\/I> from Fear Seeker<\/B> (Zeditave \/ Seeking The Gold<\/I>), a stakeswinner with seven black type podium finishes and a bank account in excess of $400k. The dam was also owned and trained by hellafied<\/B>, and although I\u2019m not game to tip a second starter against proven Graded class opponents, I\u2019m not brave (or silly) enough to suggest that Zedital<\/B> cannot run a monster of a race 13\/1 \u2013 Spirit Seeker<\/B> – # 3 \u2013 (Ireland) \u2013 it\u2019s a big ask to expect a last start maiden winner to be competitive in a field boasting several runners with Graded credentials, but this colt has looked good in his three runs, winning one with seconds at the other two, and he also does look as though he\u2019ll appreciate the extra half furlong. His sire, Songline<\/I>, has worked well in the sim, while the remains of the scratch breeding, Mill Reef<\/I> and Roberto<\/I> is absolute top quality turf route, boding well for this first attempt over the longer trip. ebbe<\/B> will be expecting Spirit Seeker<\/B> to race handy, two or three lengths off the lead, before working home late. He\u2019s taking a substantial leap by tackling this event, but his solid, improving formline combined with unknown potential adds yet another element of mystery to this exciting race. 14\/1 \u2013 Alpine Wonder<\/B> – # 10 \u2013 (Alpine) \u2013 The only filly lining up for this event, her formline is difficult to assess, given that her entire career of eight runs has been conducted in the somewhat sheltered environment of Alpine Turf Club restricted events. That\u2019s the question mark. The other side of the coin is that the opposition in those events is generally of a high quality nature, and she\u2019s won five of the eight, with seconds in each of the other three. Her last start 1.37.5 over this trip won\u2019t be enough to get her home ahead of her more fancied opposition, but as she\u2019s still on the improve, she wont have to improve by much to put herself into a position to add value to the exotic bets. Alpine Wonder<\/B> is a daughter of premier sire Sadler\u2019s Wells<\/I>, from La Troubadour<\/B> (Exploit \/ Conquistador Ceilo<\/I>), a winner of 4 from 22 for this filly\u2019s owner trainer stlcards<\/B>. She\u2019ll settle beyond midfield, with a real chance of unloading her customary finish against this stronger field. 21\/1 \u2013 BPB Markane <\/B>\u00a0<\/SPAN>– # 1 \u2013 (EAAA) \u2013 Connections must be astounded at the lack of respect being shown to this unbeaten colt. What more does he need to do? He\u2019s three from three! He\u2019s won at stakes level (albeit against a minimum sized field) and he is improving at a rate which signifies that there\u2019s still plenty more improvement in the tank. OK, so he\u2019s never tried the mile. But he\u2019s finishing off his races in a manner which makes it obvious that it won\u2019t cause a problem. His breeding is unfashionable (Markane \/ Royal Anthem \/ Touching Wood<\/I>), but try a telling the horse he should go slower because the other breeders spent more on their animals. bpboost3<\/B> and stable followers are sure to put substantial wagers on BPB Markane<\/B>, simply because, no matter what he hasn\u2019t done, he\u2019s one of only two in the race who\u2019ve never been beaten. This is not a good race to bet in, but for those who must, this colt is far and away the best value runner. 65\/1 \u2013 Outta Ransom <\/B>– # 7 \u2013 (Alpine) \u2013 Sadly, there is a phrase which jumps to mind on checking the form of this colt. Making up the numbers. Looking for positives, he does boast a second placing in an ungraded stakes just two starts back, but that was in a slowly run race and in a small field. Every other runner can lay some sort of claim to his or her chances in the race, but, search as I may, I can\u2019t mount any sort of argument for this one.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Outta Ransom<\/B> is a son of Hansome Ransom<\/I> from Down and Outz<\/B> (Blackfriars \/ Big Burn<\/I>).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His dam won one from seventeen, and as a stakes placed runner, this hawkzbarn<\/B> owned and trained colt has exceeded mum\u2019s achievements. Unfortunately I can\u2019t see him adding any more glory this week. The Challenge:<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> The market has this looking like a competition between EAAA<\/B> and Finding a winner :<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> This race is almost impossible to handicap, with virtually every runner having some sort of chance, and most of the field having questions to answer. Favourite Glorious Sunset<\/B> has never won a black type race, a statistic shared with Ten Stone Five <\/B>and Kela Indy<\/B>. Septic Squall<\/B> failed at his only route run, Hitsugaya<\/B> tries the trip for the first time, Zedital<\/B> lines up for just the second time, Spirit Seeker<\/B> makes a huge jump,
