Jacobbson 24\/1.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3yo filly with great record of 7-4-2-0 and banking $127k. Has been outstanding in Allowance races over this distance but this is her acid test. Last start she won a 16F Allowance. Sat 3<sup>rd<\/sup> around 8.5 lengths off the lead. Moved to 2<sup>nd<\/sup> around 3 lengths of them on the turn and raced away the last furlong to win easily by 9 lengths with an SP of 85. Prior to that she won a 16F Allowance. Sat 3<sup>rd<\/sup> around 14.5 lengths from the lead. Moved to within a 1\/4 of a length on the turn and raced clear the last furlong to win by 3 lengths with an SP of 104. Before that she won a 16F Allowance. Sat 4<sup>th<\/sup> around 14 lengths from the early lead. Moved to 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, still 8 lengths off them on the turn but powered away the last furlong to win by 6 lengths with an SP of 87. Absolutely killing them in Allowances and deserves a shot here. This is not overly strong and can make her presence felt. Big chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. 85311 \u2013 <strong>Double Marmaduke<\/strong> (Duke of Marmalade) Owned by 73away \u2013 Jockey \u2013 C. Meads 12\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4yo filly with record of 16-4-3-3 and banking $224k. Racing well since changed to dirt. Big step up here but deserves a shot in a fairly weak G1. Last start she won a 14F Allowance. Sat 5<sup>th<\/sup> around 10 lengths from the lead. Moved to 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, still nearly 6 lengths off them on the turn and raced clear the last furlong to win by nearly 4 lengths with an SP of 95. Prior to that she won a 14F Allowance. Sat 2<sup>nd<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead. Moved to 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, still 5.5 lengths from them on the turn but raced clear the last furlong to win by 2.5 lengths with an SP of 98. Before that she was 3<sup>rd<\/sup> in a 9F Allowance. Sat 10<sup>th<\/sup> around 13 lengths from the lead. Moved to 7<sup>th<\/sup>, still nearly 11 lengths off them on the turn and finished well to be beaten just over 4 lengths with an SP of 103. Been good since switching to dirt and won her allowance races easily the past two. Can figure. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. 94421 \u2013 <strong>Raging Empire<\/strong> (Union Rags) Owned by fatal \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M. Scott 6\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3yo filly with record of 16-5-3-1 and banking $193k. Form good over the longer trips. 1<sup>st<\/sup> try at this distance. Last start she <strong>won the Clever Tenant Dirt Filly Stayer 11F<\/strong>. Led early by \u00be of a length. Extended the lead to over 4 lengths on the turn and kept going strongly the last furlong to win by 3 lengths with an SP of 110. Prior to that she was 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in a 10F Allowance. Sat 3<sup>rd<\/sup> around 1.5 lengths from the lead. Moved to 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, around 1 length off them on the turn and stayed on okay the last furlong, beaten nearly 2 lengths with an SP of 113. Before that she was 4<sup>th<\/sup> in an 8.5F Allowance. Sat 9<sup>th<\/sup> around 11 lengths from the lead. Moved to 8<sup>th<\/sup>, still over 9 lengths off them on the turn and ran on well the last furlong, beaten just over 3 lengths with an SP of 107. Prior to that she was 4<sup>th<\/sup> in a 9F Allowance. Sat 5<sup>th<\/sup> early around 4 lengths from the lead. Just battled from the turn, beaten 4.5 lengths with an SP of 99. Since stepping up to the longer routes she has been very good. This is tough but has a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. 21630 \u2013 <strong>Justine\u2019s Mood<\/strong> (Pivotal) Owned by trapper31 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 T. Redding 7\/2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5yo mare with nice record of 23-6-7-3 and banking $404k. Form has been up and down of late but chance on best form.

Before that she was <strong>6<sup>th<\/sup> in the G3 Stutenpreis 11F Turf<\/strong>. Sat 9<sup>th<\/sup> around 13 lengths from the lead. Moved to 7<sup>th<\/sup>, still around 9 lengths off them on the turn and battled the last furlong, beaten 5.5 lengths with an SP of 112. Prior to that she <strong>won the G3 Scandinavian Distaff 11F Turf<\/strong>. Sat 4<sup>th<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead. Moved to 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, still around 6 lengths off them on the turn before finishing powerfully the last furlong to win by 2.5 lengths with an SP of 118. Forgive last run as obviously not right. All her racing has been on turf bar a maiden 3<sup>rd<\/sup> as a 3yo. On times she should be very competitive here and has to be given a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. 10107 \u2013 <strong>Long War Den<\/strong> (Den\u2019s Legacy) Owned by graywolf12 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 D. Saylor 30\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4yo filly with record of 10-3-1-0 and banking $86k. Her form is well below par for a race like this and likely to struggle.

Dropped to 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, around 5 lengths off them on the turn and faded badly the last furlong, beaten just over 13 lengths with an SP of 97. Prior to that she was <strong>14<sup>th<\/sup> in the G1 Little Rock Stayer 14F behind Platt (1<sup>st<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 3<sup>rd<\/sup> around 1 length from the lead. Dropped to 13<sup>th<\/sup>, around 13 lengths off them on the turn and dropped right out the last furlong to be distanced with an SP of 80. Before that she won a 12F Allowance.

Dropped to 3<sup>rd<\/sup> on the turn and faded badly the last furlong, beaten over 23 lengths with an SP of 97. Could lead early here but cannot see here being there at the end. Passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. 41333 \u2013 <strong>Tana\u2019s Deepwell<\/strong> (Deep Impact) Owned by sonofaus \u2013 Jockey \u2013 P. Jones 9\/2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5yo mare with nice record of 18-7-1-3 and banking $355k. Her form has been very good of late and she should be thereabouts. Last start she was <strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> in the G3 All Nighter 16F behind Strawberry Jane (1<sup>st<\/sup>).<\/strong> Led early by 3 lengths. Still in front around the bend by nearly 3 lengths but gathered in the last furlong, beaten nearly 5 lengths with an SP of 98. Prior to that she was <strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> in the G3 Glen is Falling Hcp 11F Turf.<\/strong> Sat 5<sup>th<\/sup> around 6 lengths from the lead.

Before that she was <strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> in the Distorted Wife Dirt Mare Route 9.5F.<\/strong> Sat 4<sup>th<\/sup> around 4 lengths from the lead. Dropped to 5<sup>th<\/sup>, around 2.5 lengths off them on the turn and battled on okay the last furlong, beaten nearly 10 lengths with an SP of 105. Prior to that she won a 9F Allowance. Sat 2<sup>nd<\/sup> early before taking over on the turn and racing away for a nice win, by 3 lengths with an SP of 105. Her turf run was quite good but hard to see her beating the favourite. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. 15914 \u2013 <strong>Unbridled Excuses<\/strong> (Justify) Owned by desertdog10 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 J. Wilson 12\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3yo filly with overall record of 10-3-2-0 and banking $215k. Been okay of late and should be around the mark. Last start she was <strong>4<sup>th<\/sup> in the Covarrubias Dirt Filly Stayer 11F<\/strong>. Sat 6<sup>th<\/sup> around 16 lengths from the early lead. Moved to 4<sup>th<\/sup>, still over 13 lengths from them on the turn and finished well the last furlong, beaten 3 lengths with an SP of 106. Prior to that she won a 12F Allowance. Sat 4<sup>th<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead. Moved to 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, still 5 lengths off them on the turn but cruised home the last furlong to win by 3 lengths with an SP of 105. Before that she was <strong>9<sup>th<\/sup> in the G3 Oaks De Swedish 12F on a good track<\/strong>. Sat 12<sup>th<\/sup> around 15 lengths from the lead. Still 12<sup>th<\/sup> around 15 lengths from the lead on the turn and passed a few tired horses late, beaten 11 lengths with an SP of 95. Prior to that she was <strong>5<sup>th<\/sup> in the G1 New Yorker 12F.<\/strong> Sat 13<sup>th<\/sup> around 14 lengths from the lead. Moved to 10<sup>th<\/sup>, still 12.5 lengths from the leaders and came home well the last furlong, beaten 7.5 lengths with an SP of 101. Looks like the 16F should suit and should be running on strongly late. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. 31132 \u2013 <strong>A City Inside<\/strong> (Galileo) Owned by spinround \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M. Walker 4\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4yo filly with terrific record of 19-5-5-8 and banking $486k. Racing almost exclusively on the turf. Switch to the long dirt is interesting. Last start she was <strong>2<sup>nd<\/sup> in the G3 Floor It Stakes 16F Turf<\/strong>. Led by 3 lengths early. Extended the lead to nearly 4 lengths on the turn and just run down the last furlong to be beaten a head with an SP of 109.

Prior to that she won a 13F Turf Allowance. Led early by over 4 lengths. Extended to over 12.5 length lead on the turn and eased up the last furlong to win by 4 lengths with an SP of 110. Her 2 dirt runs were okay and you cant take anything from them as they were over unsuitable distances. If her form converts to dirt, she would be a huge chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. 21112 \u2013 <strong>Strawberry Jane<\/strong> (Frosted) Owned by woette5 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 E C Doyle 14\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4yo filly with nice record of 16-4-4-4 and banking $287k.

Sat 3<sup>rd<\/sup> early before taking over on the turn by over 4 lengths and was strong to the line, winning by 3.5 lengths with an SP of 92. Been in great form of late. This is harder and she would have to step up again, but quite capable. Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. 71116 \u2013 <strong>Platt<\/strong> (Honor Code) Owned by fernando \u2013 Jockey \u2013 H. Artack 3\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4yo filly with nice overall record of 19-6-5-2 and banking $1.38 million. Been in good form prior to last start. Must forgive and she has a big chance here. Last start she was <strong>6<sup>th<\/sup> in the G1 Breeder\u2019s Bowl Dirt Marathon 14F<\/strong>.

Prior to that she <strong>won the G2 Turtle Bridge 16F<\/strong>. Sat 7<sup>th<\/sup> around 8 lengths from the lead. Took the lead on the turn by nearly 2 lengths and maintained that to the line to win by nearly 2 lengths with an SP of 106. Forgive the run last start. Back to fillies and mares here and she has been in terrific form with her prior 3 wins in a row. Big chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disappointing field for a G1 race but should be competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>10 \u2013 Platt<\/strong> \u2013 Clear top pick for me.
