Has a real chance here today after his last start win running a 114 sp in the Narrowly Missed Stakes -G3. Four of his last five starts he has run a 110 or better so he has the form on the board. He will sit just of the pace and have the run of the race once they hit the stretch look for him to be powering home.<\/p>\n

A winner of the Orangeton Handicap -G2 at his last start run a SP 110 has the form on the board to win this race the only question mark I have is the drop back in distance because he likes to get back and run home he may find this just a bit short. I will have some money on him for a place or show.<\/p>\n

A winner of his last two starts both stakes races running SP 113 and 112. His last seven starts have produced four wins and three seconds now that is a horse in form. Today is his big test a step up to group level he should settle mid field and come home with a big run it will not surprise me to see him win this.<\/p>\n

The big question is the distance this is his first start over this distance and look back over his form there is not a thing that tells me that he needs more ground I can not see him bothering the judges today. <\/p>\n

The one to beat winner of the Diplomat Way Handicap -G1 running SP 112 at his last start. Likes to lead and that is what he will do today has the speed to make him very hard to catch. Punters if you have only one bet today put the house on this horse at the very good odds of 5\/1.<\/p>\n

This probably is his best distance but it\u2019s a step up to a graded race and that\u2019s were you meet the top performers which would put this race out of his depth there are easier races for him. <\/p>\n

Looks to be struggling at the moment although his last start second in the EAAA Division Inter-Residency Challenge — Owner Restricted \u2013Stk running a SP 110 was his best run for some time. Would need to be at his very best to fill a place.<\/p>\n

His last three starts have been on turf for two wins and a 3rd one of the wins was The PRO WOODY Challenge -StkIf with SP of 110. The question I have is why he is racing on dirt. Will not win this race.<\/p>\n

top run last start in the Narrowly Missed Stakes -G3 rattled home for a 2nd run a SP 112 but that has been his best run for a long time he would need to bring that form into this race to have any chance at all other look a lot better.<\/p>\n

His best distance looks to be six to seven furlongs if this race was over one of those trips he would be very hard to beat but its not and that extra \u00bd a furlong will be too much for him. Place at best <\/p>\n

Could be a bit of a surprise pack in this race has been lightly raced and is getting better with every start. Her last start in The ONE ELOCAT Stakes \u2013Stk was very good run a career best 111 SP if she can improve on that run she will be very hard to beat. <\/p>\n

Finished of last year with a top run in The AARON RAT Cap \u2013Stk over seven furlongs running a SP 112 and has had one run this year for a 2nd in allowance I would be looking for some thing a bit easier maybe a stakes race would be more to his liking. <\/p>\n
WHO DO YOU LOVE (KY) looks the winner from KING OF SEASONS (IRE) and BADDER THAN BAD (IRE).
The long shot and the one that could cause a boil over is CORMORANT CREEK.
Happy punting
