Belgian Tike Stakes
Grade III
Four and one half furlongs
Firm Turf

All horses, 2 years old<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

If there is anything I have learnt over the years it is that a grade III race for 2yo\u2019s this early in the season can be a pretty unpredictable affair and this race shows no indication of bucking that trend.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Eight runners line up for this one and they are:<\/P>

A 2yo colt from Ploink Stables<\/SPAN><\/B> bred from an H grade mare. \u00a0<\/SPAN>A maiden from an unproven mare who failed to win any of her four runs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His one run to date showed good form and landed 2nd<\/SUP> spot with an SP# of 78 in NY and he\u2019s travelled a long way in an effort to go one better \u2013 though the dreaded second race bounce may take its toll.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

A 2yo colt from Screech Stables<\/SPAN><\/B> bred from a G grade mare. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Failed badly on dirt in his first run but put that right on turf next time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His subsequent allowance run, though gaining 2nd<\/SUP> place, was disappointing so this will be a real test of his character. <\/P>

A 2yo colt from Vkstables Stables<\/SPAN><\/B> bred from a G grade mare. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Unbeaten after just one run in an average sp# 66.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>None of those he beat have managed to win yet so it remains to be seen just how good that performance was and whether he can justify favouritism here.<\/P>

A 2yo colt from Ldyssecret<\/SPAN><\/B> bred from a G grade mare. \u00a0<\/SPAN>His first run was in a stakes race in NZ which he won in a slow time, and his next allowance run only netted him a 4th<\/SUP> place, despite a much improved performance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Could find this sharp 4.5 furlongs a bit too short.<\/P>

Okay, due to an absence of too much information this is a hard race to look at with any certainty.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Apologies to the owners but the only thing I will say is that none of these look like future superstars and may never get a better chance to win a graded race in their careers.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The possible exception to that is the lone filly Five Alarm Prayer<\/STRONG> who has a lot to live up to, but these are very early days for these youngsters. \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
