Welcome to Queensland for the running of the Marcos Footwear Handicap <\/B>Grade III
A mile and one quarter Firm Turf $225,000 All horses, 4 years old and up. The much anticipated wet weather has not eventuated and this may through a few runners of their stride. Lets take a look at the field <\/P>
PP1 <\/B>79245<\/B><\/U><\/A> HARD MISS <\/B>newscoobi <\/B><\/U><\/A>Fr Miller <\/B><\/U><\/A>7\/1<\/P> Robsscoobi Stables <\/B><\/I>brings us this strong robust 6yrold who indeed has performed well on wet tracks but he is as comfortable on firm tracks as well. He has mainly raced in allowance racing of late but does have stakes wins to his credit. His sp\u2019s have improved greatly in the last six months and at this distance he has a great record he has recorded 100+ in his last five starts including 3 wins and 2 placings. He will drop back to midfield early and close approaching the stretch and drive in the last furlong great chance in this.<\/P> <\/P> PP2 <\/B>129064<\/B><\/U><\/A> SEEKING NESSY(KY) <\/B>rlogan <\/B><\/U><\/A>T Cox <\/B><\/U><\/A>6\/1<\/P> ONEWORLD Stables – Established Wk. 634 <\/B><\/I>produce this 4yrold colt he has only been lightly raced 16 times for 6 win a switch to turf 12 starts ago has worked wonders and he has recorded all his wins on turf another who doesn\u2019t mind if it is wet or dry he has won in stakes company and been grade placed in short career to date. He was a great 3rd<\/SUP> 4 starts ago in the Early Months Stakes-G2 over this distance and has won twice since. Improving at the right time in his career he should race handy from nice draw and be very hard to beat.<\/P> PP3 <\/B>114600<\/B><\/U><\/A> RAINBAND(AUS) <\/B>wulf <\/B><\/U><\/A>M Radke <\/B><\/U><\/A>6\/1<\/P> B4rca Stables <\/B><\/I>present this 4 yrold colt who has done nothing wrong in his career having won 7 from 21 and has won a graded race over this journey in the Early Months Stakes-G2 with a 106sp. He run a 100+sp in his last 6 starts all around this distance and back to 10f that may be all he needs to recapture winning form. He gets back a little bit in his races if he gets a clear run in stretch he should feature in this finish.<\/P><\/I> PP4 <\/B>118844<\/B><\/U><\/A> STORM’S GONE AGAIN <\/B>tisgold <\/B><\/U><\/A>M Cameron <\/B><\/U><\/A>5\/1<\/P> Stevemunoz Stables <\/B><\/I>trains this bold 5yrold horse and he is yet another in this very strong field who has claims to victory here. Two starts ago he stormed home late for 3rd<\/SUP> in the Eclipse Stakes-G1<\/B> over this journey and last time out won a 10f allowance. Another who will drift early and close late it should be a thrilling finish with runners across the track.<\/P> PP5 <\/B>126766<\/B><\/U><\/A> YESIMALLLITUPAGAIN(JPN) <\/B>themainman <\/B><\/U><\/A>D Papandrea <\/B><\/U><\/A>15\/1<\/P> The Big Oil Conglomerate [Ft. LordPye]<\/I> <\/B>brings us this colt the outsider of the field but any horse from this strong barn has to be respected. He was certainly hoping for rain and he may favour a slightly shorter distance. Will race just behind pace and hope to save strength for stretch run.<\/P> PP6 <\/B>102073<\/B><\/U><\/A> DANCING MASTER(IRE) <\/B>yunkai <\/B><\/U><\/A>S DeBerg <\/B><\/U><\/A>10\/1<\/P> Given Stables: Fire and Blood <\/B><\/I>brings us this 5yrold blueblood who is yet to run over 10f surprisingly he has run well at 9 and 9.5f so this should be no trouble for him. Three starts ago he ran 3rd<\/SUP> in the Premium Jockey Guild Stakes-G3 <\/B>over 9f in a 104sp so graded class is no worry . He will need and economical run behind leaders to produce his best in the finish.<\/P> PP7 <\/B>127575<\/B><\/U><\/A> SYNCHRONIZATION(KY) <\/B>corzak <\/B><\/U><\/A>C Wyatt <\/B><\/U><\/A>7\/2<\/P> Corza Stables <\/B><\/I>gives us the ruling favourite who has only raced 15 times for 3 win but he has won $1,484,000 in stakes. Eight of his last nine starts have been in G1 company and culminated in a last start victory in the G1 D.P.C.D. Delpenn Pennsylvania Handicap <\/B>over 9.5 in a 116sp and this makes him a worthy favourite in this field. Look for him to try to lead all the way and run the finishes out of the other runners. The only chink in his armour is that he has found 10f a little to far in his racing so far.<\/P> PP8 <\/B>72604<\/B><\/U><\/A> KATIE’S JONES <\/B>bobby3khw <\/B><\/U><\/A>P Kays <\/B><\/U><\/A>7\/1<\/P> Bobbykhw Stables <\/B><\/I>provides us with this 5yrold who has won 9 of 25 . He has the services of one of Queensland\u2019s up and coming riders and at 7\/1 is in the bookies eye showing they are not prepared to let him go out at to long an odds. He has failed in 2 graded runs to date and must therefore be a question mark again here. Nice win 2 starts ago in the The REGAL AND BRAVE Challenge<\/B><\/U><\/A>-Stk with a 112sp <\/B>prove that if he can measure up to graded racing he will be a threat .<\/P> PP9 <\/B>17510<\/B><\/U><\/A> HEADLONG <\/B>thunderman <\/B><\/U><\/A>T Phillips <\/B><\/U><\/A>9\/1<\/P><\/B> Another royally bred horse this 6yrold is trained by Remiller66 Stables <\/B><\/I>he has won 11 of 24 and has won over this distance in G11 company. He has won 2 of his last 5 races but has been a little dis appointing in his last 2 runs and we hope he has not left his best racing behind him. He has been freshened a bit and may be ready to recapture his previous graded form. If he can race handy from this draw he may figure in the finish.<\/P> PP10 <\/B>94671<\/B><\/U><\/A> ZIGGY <\/B>peeps7 <\/B><\/U><\/A>R Guyo <\/B><\/U><\/A>7\/1<\/P><\/B> Last but not least comes this 6yrold trained by Cobra Kai Racing Stables <\/B><\/I>he is actually the only runner in race from a mare and what a great race mare she was DANESKY won 20 races and $2,020,593 in stakes which put her amongst the all time great race mares. Except for this horse she has not produced anything as good as her he has won in graded company and has never found this distance a problem it has been a while since he has run this far and this scribe thinks that may provide him with a win. He will race just off pace and look to power home.<\/P> 1ST<\/SUP> ZIGGY<\/P><\/B> 2ND<\/SUP> SYNCHRONIZATION(KY) <\/P><\/B> 3RD<\/SUP> SEEKING NESSY(KY) <\/P><\/B> \u00a0<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OY OY OY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":203,"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-5317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5317","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\/203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5317\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
