A short field of four fillies will\tface off in the Helen’s Cannon Challenge<\/strong>. Only 3\/5 morning line favorite\tFuture Possible<\/strong> has been tested over the 7.5 furlong distance.\u00a0 Fly\tFrontier<\/strong>,\tthe field longshot at 5\/1, comes into the race with the most on-track experience,\twhile narrow second choice (5\/2 odds) Moon’s A Ballon(IRE)<\/strong> gets her first try on dirt.\u00a0 Winnerland<\/strong> is the great unknown in this race, as she makes her racing debut. <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winnerland<\/strong> is a sleek brown filly by Saarland out of the Sunday Silence mare\tWeekend Warrior AZ.\u00a0 She’s\tbeen doing quite well in workouts of late, which may explain why trainer\tStormchaser<\/em> chose to place her in this $45K stakes for her debut.\u00a0 Her\tdam had a clear preference for turf, so if she follows in mama’s footsteps\tshe may not adore the Malaysia main track.\u00a0 This is a nice easy spot to\ttest out Winnerland’s ability on dirt, and her trainer is to be commended\tfor the excellent strategical placement.\u00a0 This filly will have to be really\tgood to beat the favorite however. <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fly Frontier<\/strong>, with just five races under her, has accumulated a fine on-track\trecord of two wins, a place, and two shows.\u00a0 Both of her wins came at 5.5\tfurlongs with speed figures of 68 and 70.\u00a0 In her last start, she went\t6.5 furlongs to run third, and came out of the race a bit tired.\u00a0 Her\tpedigree (Canadian Frontier x Petionville) suggests she should be able to\tgo a bit longer.\u00a0 After six weeks rest, she should be able to improve her\tspeed figures and maintain her record of 100% top-3 finishes. She will need\tto improve at minimum 10 points to catch up with the favorite. Trainer Cheryl130<\/em>\thas secured the services of veteran jockey E Hallock for this race. <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moon’s A Balloon(IRE)<\/strong> has shown some success for trainer Harold<\/em> on turf\tcourses, but has never seen dirt outside morning works the last few days.\u00a0 She\tis shipping in from Ireland where she ran a closing second in an allowance\tgoing 7 furlongs. The added half-furlong here looks to be no problem for\tthis Moon Ballad(IRE) filly, as she has improved every time she has been\toffered extra ground.\u00a0 Balloon has one win in four starts, but has run\tsecond in two others and shows every sign of developing into a very useful\tracehorse.\u00a0 The 5\/2 odds reflect the surface question and her slightly\tslower past performances in comparision to the race favorite.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Foxon’s<\/em> fine filly Future Possible<\/strong> is clearly deserving of the title “favorite”\tin this race.\u00a0 In terms of on-track performance she is the class of the\tfield, and this is her race to lose.\u00a0 The Victory Gallop filly took three\ttries to break her maiden, which she did in fine fashion going 6 furlongs\tin a high-purse 14-horse MSW at Japan with a healthy 80SP.\u00a0 She followed\tthat up in her last start with a well-deserved third in the Tears Of Conflict\tBonanza in Denmark at 7.5 furlongs. Future was tiring at the end, but as\tshe is facing slower filies here is unlikely to face the same problem in\tthis race.\u00a0 Top track jockey R Hilwhite’s agreement to ride signals much\tconfidence in this filly’s ability to win in style.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Future Possible will probably be sent to the lead.\u00a0 If Moon’s A Ballon\tfollows her turf style, she’ll be rated 3-4 lengths behind Future, right\ton the heels of Fly Frontier. Winnerland’s running style is really not predictable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
