Belgium Racing Team <\/B><\/I>from Benelux trains this 6yrold by <\/SPAN>VAN NISTELROOY<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from the mare HELMETS TART <\/B>who was a moderately performed mare but this fellow has made racing in top class his go. Move of an allowance runner but he has gone some good races in good times but would surprise if he won this.<\/P>

Trained by the trainer of the year this guy must be respected . Another who has found allowance racing more to his liking but horses like this always crop up in the finish of races like this outside chance only though. Has race best in sprint company and may find this a little far.<\/P>

He is well performed in longer journey and may well use his stamina in this bigger field to his advantage. Two starts ago he won the Fus Gonner Handicap-G3 <\/B>over 8.5f with a 112sp and should find himself right up there in the stretch.<\/P>

He has run some nice races in graded company and seems to favour the mile journey. He won the G2 Black Label Mile <\/B>with a 111sp and would easily foot it with these. He was a little disappointing last time out in the Cosmopolitan Handicap-G1 <\/B>but might well have been affected by the wet ground so we can forgive him that run a expect a better effort here definite chance.<\/P>

This horse has won 8 races from he was a good turf performer but recent racing on dirt has resulted in some good graded performances. Produced a very nice win last time out over 8.5f in the Big D Park Handicap-G2 <\/B>in a 14 sp so you can see this is a field stacked full of speed and stamina.<\/P>

Dentition *No Do Claima’s* Stables <\/B><\/I>from DelPenn National trains this horse the second favourite for this race. He is a 6yrold by the <\/SPAN>A.P. INDY<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>from the he mare CHROMOSOME <\/B>who didn\u2019t do much in his career but was very well bred. The winner of 12 from 33 and the biggest stakes earner in the field with $1,237,040he has raced and beaten the best including wins in <\/SPAN>Breeder’s Bowl Prep<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-G2 <\/B>and Orangeton Handicap-G2 <\/B>five starts ago bounced back with a fine win over a mile last time out in the <\/SPAN>The VENGEFUL SEA Memorial<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>so his trainer has him just right for this.

A win 3 starts ago in the Sand Castle Godolfin Mile-G3 <\/B>with a 118sp had us thinking that he could assume the mantle of top dirt miler but 2 runs since have not been great but may well have needed his last run where he did little at all in running. These boys know how to win big races and represent their residency may upset them all.<\/P>
