5\/1 CK Ghost Prospect(KY)<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
A blueblooded damsel\u00a0kicks off our coverage with\u00a0Team CK’s CK Ghost Prospect.\u00a0\u00a0 The Ghostzapper daughter boasts a mouth-watering Storm Cat x Mr. Prospector female family and she’s lived up to those bloodlines for Team CK.\u00a0\u00a0 The ‘Ghost has won 6 of\u00a012 so far, including a rousing photo finish in last year’s World Cup Juvenile Filly Sprint(G1)<\/EM>.\u00a0\u00a0 The ‘Ghost rallied from way off the pace in that victory,\u00a0and she ran big time again, albeit falling shot by 4 lengths in the BB Juvy Fillies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
The Breeders Bowl began a three-race string of two-turn efforts for CK Ghost Prospect.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly didn’t move forward though around two-turns.\u00a0\u00a0 She was well-beaten in the Golden Rod(G2)<\/EM> and even missed a win against Minnesota Downs residency-restricted company.\u00a0\u00a0Team CK set their sights back on the sprints for the filly’s sophomore debut.\u00a0\u00a0 She spoiled over the grass, but then magically turned it around with a huge 101 SP# listed stakes score around 7.5 panels.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
CK Ghost Prospect looked set for the Grade 1 Hello Mama Special<\/EM> last time out.\u00a0 The filly ran well, but must’ve suffered from a lack of speed up front, finishing also-ran.\u00a0\u00a0 This has got to be a lighter spot for her against fillies without much graded experience.\u00a0\u00a0 Bottom line, you really gotta love the chalk in the race.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s #2-ranked\u00a0in the 3yo filliy sprint division.\u00a0 Hopefully she can get something to run at up front and has to overcome post #12 too.<\/FONT>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

6\/1 Sainte Chapelle(KY)<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
LSUMark from the Ireland residency brings our first modestly-sired gal, Sainte Chappelle.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s the best offspring so far\u00a0by the Montbrook-sired stallion Chapel Royal.\u00a0\u00a0Saint Chappelle looked postively majestic winning the Cadoka(G3)<\/EM> over seven panels last month.\u00a0 The midpacker cruised to lead\u00a0at the top of the stretch, then switched it into\u00a0overdrive 1 1\/2 lengths on top.\u00a0\u00a0 Her 103 SP#<\/STRONG> in the race is the highest so far in our field.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s 2-for-2 as a sophomore so far then after winning a listed stakes after her wintertime vacation.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Sainte Chappelle had some graded experience last year.\u00a0 She was Grade 3-placed around 7.5f.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She finished out the season earning some good dough.\u00a0\u00a0 It looks like she just really that time down on the farm to rest up, because, boy, she’s a sharper knife in the drawer\u00a0as a 3yo.\u00a0 The little gal might be in a better position to pounce down the lane if the frontrunners dawdle through the opening\u00a0quarter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
You just can’t fault this filly.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cover-up her sire and she’s the one to\u00a0beat in this race moreso than CK Ghost Prospect.\u00a0\u00a0Great form.<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Wow!\u00a0\u00a0 Gilded Time x Cutlass x Baederwood sure looks like a bargain baby to me!\u00a0 Olwhisper of the EAAA Residency sure got\u00a0BP-value for Gilded Edge.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly’s already ranked #7 in the division after having hit the board in 4 straight graded stakes last year.\u00a0\u00a0 She was in CK Ghost Prospect’s World Cu<\/EM>p photo finish, and missed again on DelPenn Champions Day in the Thnksmsslew(G1).<\/EM>\u00a0\u00a0 The starlet even\u00a0hit the board against\u00a0graded colts too.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
What an impressive individual with those stable yet slowly climbing speed figures!\u00a0\u00a0 This season, Gilded Edge finished 4th in the EAAA Inter-Res Challenge<\/EM> versus colts before mish-mashing her way home on top in a listed stakes versus the gals.\u00a0\u00a0 She ran a beautiful 101 SP#<\/STRONG> in the 7f race.\u00a0\u00a0 Like rival CK Ghost Prospect, Gilded Edge needs something run at up front.\u00a0\u00a0 I like how she’s fresh off of a two-month layoff.\u00a0\u00a0 If she’s on target, she might throw a huge number.\u00a0\u00a0 Just call her “Little Miss Dangerous!”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

7\/1 Gulch Quay ETS(KY)<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
Thunder Gulch isn’t used as much these days, so I guess we can qualify Gulch Quay ETS as a modest bred!\u00a0 Theo (Teddy), web guru of Minnesota Downs, trains this little lassie.\u00a0\u00a0 Gulch Quay ETS is quite experienced already with a 4 for 15 lifetime record.\u00a0\u00a0 She was a stakes winner in just her 3rd career outing last season and has competed consistently in sprint and short route stakes races ever since.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
The filly has lots of natural speed, but Theo and the\u00a0jockeys have tried to turn Gulch Quay ETS into more of a stalker this season.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0She’s hit the board in 3 of 4 stakes stakes and those races weren’t slouchy-type events either.\u00a0\u00a0 The fily ran stable 90+ SP#s and really seems to be knocking on the door in preparation for a breakout run.\u00a0\u00a0 There’s not a ton of speed in this contest, so she\u00a0could find some easy going up front.\u00a0\u00a0 She races on only two weeks rest though.\u00a0\u00a0 I’d expect two-weeks for a listed, but it might be stretching it to step back up to the grades.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Still, ‘Gulch is quite a talent and deserves\u00a0backing\u00a0in your exotic wagers.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

9\/1 Woette’s Wide Web(TUR)<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
The bluecollar entrants march on with Woette’s Wide Web, daughter of Mountain Cat.\u00a0\u00a0 This gals got a rather turfy stamina female family, but just adores the one-turn, so go figure.\u00a0\u00a0Woette of Benelux trains this gal.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly recently won a listed stakes with a 96 SP#.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a very tough win though as she fought tooth-and-nail on the lead for the photo finish score.\u00a0 It was her 2nd lifetime stakes victory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
There are a couple keys with this filly.\u00a0\u00a0 First,\u00a0she has backclass.\u00a0 She actually finished a mere 1\/4-length behind Gilded Edge\u00a0on DelPenn Champions Day in the Thnksmsslew(G1).<\/EM>\u00a0\u00a0Secondly, she’s quite versatile on the pace or happily closing from the back of the pack.\u00a0\u00a0 Finally, she’s fresh off of a nice long break.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
I like how her SP#s keep climbing as well.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s maturing.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t know if she’s at the\u00a0favorite’s level yet, but could affirm her readiness to us all Saturday!<\/FONT>\u00a0\u00a0 Must overcome outside post #13.\u00a0\u00a0 Possible.<\/FONT><\/DIV>

10\/1 Street Crying (KY)<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
We jump back to bluebloodedness with this Street Cry daughter from reman12000 stables. Street Crying is still pretty green with a 4-for-8 lifetime record.\u00a0 Reman took her through the ranks slowly last year and she became a stakes winner rather quickly in just her 5th start.\u00a0 Indeed, Street Crying continued the fine form with a photo finish runner-up spot in her 3yo debut.\u00a0\u00a0 The 95 SP# was the filly’s lifetime best.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Unfortunately, Street Crying through a stinker in\u00a0Sainte Chappelle’s Cadoka(G3)<\/EM>.\u00a0\u00a0 I worry Reman may be pushing this filly a bit too fast.\u00a0\u00a0 Or, perhaps the speedster just missed the break and was due for a clinker.\u00a0\u00a0 Classy filly, but is she ready for her first 100+?\u00a0\u00a0 Wouldn’t be too far of a stretch, so keep an eye on her.\u00a0 Races from the GR Simsters Residency.<\/FONT><\/DIV>

10\/1 Silver Splendor(KY)<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
This gal might have a royal female family, but Badge of Silver is still modest by all rights.\u00a0 You got to like the 3rd-crop sire’s\u00a0Sim stats\u00a0though with 2 Graded Winners (including Silver Splendor).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Badge of Silver\u00a0also\u00a0noticeably has a very fast 3yo turf sprinter named Enchanters Endgame<\/A><\/STRONG> (trained by Brundlefly) that I spotted in the ranks a few weeks ago.\u00a0 Mmmhmm.\u00a0\u00a0 One to watch.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
But I’m stealing Baggio’s fire here with Silver Splendor!\u00a0 This is a lovely filly.\u00a0\u00a0 She was dual-Grade 3 winner last year over the lawn\u00a0and I wonder if she qualified for the Breeders Bowl.\u00a0\u00a0 Instead, Baggio paused a bit after the Silver Splendor threw a bad race around two-turns on World Cup day.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I agree with Baggio cutting her back to one-turn.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly finished decent enough with a DelPenn Champions Day 5th.\u00a0\u00a0 She just wasn’t breaking out of those 80 SP#s though.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
So Baggio placed Silver Splendor on the dirt in her 2nd outing this season.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly responded excellently with a listed victory over 7.5f.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe she was a little rushed into Saint Chappelle’s Cadoka(G3)<\/EM> last time out.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The filly finished 9th, but with the same type of 90-ish speed figure.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Hopefully she pulls it all together this time around.\u00a0\u00a0 She should be lesser odds — maybe 7\/1 or 8\/1 here.\u00a0\u00a0 Very possible, but something to prove.\u00a0 Races for Minnesota Downs.<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Bigrick stable from Minnesota Downs sends out a Tiger Hill(IRE) daughter.\u00a0 \u00a0 This little gal’s rather green with just a 2-for-6 lifeitme record.\u00a0 After winning a sprint ALW in her 4th start this season, Thug Niner ran 3rd with a very swift 100 SP# in her stakes debut around 7.5 panels.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Talented stalker, but we just don’t know how she’ll do at this level yet.\u00a0\u00a0 And, indeed she seems a little rushed.\u00a0 The speed figure warrants a start here though.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Needs to cruise on or near the lead and we’ll see if she can hang on against her more experienced rivals.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

Huhtamaki Stables brings a 5-for-10 lifetime Johar filly to Saturday’s starting gate.\u00a0 Derelect Noonan has two stakes scores already to her resume.\u00a0\u00a0 Her recent victory came stalker style versus a short 7.5f listed field.\u00a0 Her top SP# so far (90) came around 8.5f and that came late last season versus graded company.\u00a0 It was also her lone two-turns outing.<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Derelect Noonan\u00a0was well beaten in both of her graded stakes\u00a0sprint efforts.\u00a0\u00a0One must wonder is she’s gonna do any better in this spot.\u00a0\u00a0 Granted, it is a softer spot though.\u00a0\u00a0 I just don’t see the midpacker\/closer truning it around even in this spot.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

Japrufrock’s Pastures of Green division sends out a Dane Shadow(AUS) x Forty Niner filly.\u00a0\u00a0 The little gal strung together a 4-race win streak recently.\u00a0\u00a0 All of those victories came in stakes races too.\u00a0\u00a0 Love how the closer improved in speed figures up to 95.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, she ran evenly and about the same when stepped up to Grade\u00a01 company in her 2nd start this year.\u00a0\u00a0 She’s since run 3rd, firing little in a short field stakes.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Danetoyou has been spaced out very well by her trainer.\u00a0\u00a0She tried 3 weeks rest in her last start and flopped.\u00a0 Did she just need a fast pace up front or\u00a0was the quicker turn-around not the ticket?\u00a0\u00a0This filly needs a superior performance, a lifetime best\u00a0effort so far effort Saturday.\u00a0 A nice little gal, but we don’t know if she’s at this level yet.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>

Bo’s Bomb then sat on the sidelines for a spell before hitting the board with a 93 SP# in a one-turn stakes start.\u00a0\u00a0 That was back in early\u00a0March.\u00a0\u00a0 Honestly, this stalker looks a bit rushed.\u00a0\u00a0 We just don’t know how good she is and it’s kind of tossing caution to the wind here.\u00a0 I’d a prefer to see another stakes win first since she’s 4-for-9 lifetime.\u00a0\u00a0Has to step up and throw her best.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
