Rock of <\/SPAN>Gibraltar<\/SPAN><\/st1:place> colt based at GRsimsters.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lightly raced and through conditions, going for a 3-peat here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt has two listed stakes races in resume\u2019, with a 3rd<\/SUP> and 4th<\/SUP> place finish.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Posted a 102Sp in last at today\u2019s distance; however the field was mediocre.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will be facing tougher in this.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Likes to come well off the pace and may get a piece in present form.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

6yo by Dynaformer representing the RASH residency.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Claim to fame is the G2 Flying Carpet Handicap, in which he reversed his normal running style by coming well off the pace.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Horse seems to prefer shorter as attested in his PP\u2019s, but has speed and doesn\u2019t appear to have much competition up front in this.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Let alone he may get the longer distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>We look for him to fly out of the gate.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Smarty Jones colt from the DelPenn residency coming off an easy victory in a NW2n at today\u2019s distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt has one listed stakes victory at 12f.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt is at the stage of his career where he should start to show his true colors.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Right now his SP\u2019s show that he needs a lot of improvement to run at this level.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt normally sits well back and may get lost in the shuffle.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Queensland<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> is represented here with this Orientate 4yo.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As a 3yo the colt put up some nice numbers, and took down the G1 Man of War stakes along with 4 listed events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>2008 hasn\u2019t been the best of starts for the colt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Well beaten in the 3 starts this year, he will have to wake up to be a factor.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trainer must be scratching his head wondering where his colt\u2019s head is at present.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Another RASH entry that is counting on his stable mate to set a decent pace as this 5yo loves the one big run.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trained by Stoners this horse has 2 wins and 4 second place finishes in his last six outs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Distance is not a factor as the horse has placed 3 times at 16f.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One concern is the diminishing SP\u2019s, but that may be due to the distances involved. \u00a0<\/SPAN>If all is well, he should be flying in the stretch.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Trainer is supporting the <\/SPAN>Bargain Bred Racing Series<\/SPAN><\/B> <\/SPAN>run by knightmare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After a fairly lackluster career on dirt, this Rainbow Quest colt was switched to turf and has exploded to get through conditions, and win the G1 Little Guppy Classic with an SP115 last out!\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Prior to the win the colt placed at A1 in a G1 event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt is another that likes to lay back and run big in the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Caution is advised as a \u201cbounce\u201d may be in the making after the last big effort.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

Favorite in this comes out of the GRsimsters rez and was beaten in his last by the #6 in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This lightly raced to date colt out of Rock Hard Ten is in great form at present.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With the lack of speed in this race, he may stay very close to the pace and make a move on the backstretch so as to leave the come from behind types grasping at straws.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sporting two G1 wins in just 19 starts says a lot about this colt\u2019s class, and we feel he\u2019s the one to beat.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Jock<\/SPAN><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN>Caves<\/SPAN><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> always gives his mounts good rides.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Lack of speed in here favors the #7 if he breaks away quickly.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
