The Players Club National Oaks, a race run at a classic distance should bring out a classic field, and despite only 10 fillies made their way to New York, we still have some top fillies of the dirt router division. The trouble will be, it has been raining for days over here, and we have a sloppy track, so it will be interesting to take an in-depth look at the off-track records. #1 MIND ERASER(ENG) 5\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=144460<\/A> 14 Races \u2013 3 Wins \u2013 367,748$\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Off: 4 Races \u2013 1 Win 29,159$ Mind Eraser took the step to Grade 1 Level in her last race, after a couple of 2nd<\/SUP> places in Stakes company, she ran her career best race in the Grade 1 Hypnotic Explosion Classic, a 107 speed topped her previous best by 11. Before that race I wouldn\u2019t have given her Grade 1 Quality, but now she looks in the rigth company. There is a lot of reason to believe she can get a useful performance today. She won a ALW on sloppy dirt back in December 07 as a 2yo, it has to be seen if she can repeat her explosion from North Carolina however today at New York. #2 TALE OF PEACE(KY) 14\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=150671<\/A> 6 Races \u2013 2 Wins \u2013 51,736$\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Off: 4 Races \u2013 2 Wins \u2013 51,736$ With all her winnings on off-tracks, this horse is a rain specialist, connections put her in after performing a rain dance in front of the Statue of Liberty and it worked. She won an Ungraded Stakes race back in April over 8f on a sloppy track at West Virginia, but she has yet to proof she can stay 10f. Being a sloppy specialist may not be enough to win a Grade 1, but you have to respect it, and give a thumps up for taking the chance. #3 <\/SPAN>COSIMO(ENG) 9\/2 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=133937<\/A> 14 Races \u2013 7 Wins \u2013 483,747$\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Off: 1 Race \u2013 1 Win \u2013 36,000$ Her career highlight so far came last time out here in New York winning the 3rd<\/SUP> leg of the Triple Tiara the Chestnut Stakes, she comes back to the place of this wonderful moment as the race favourite. She has never run on a sloppy track, but won a Stakes race at a good track back in May. She has shown she can stay 11f, so the 10f today should be no problem to her. I guess there is no doubt she should win the race on a fast track, but with the sloppy going, it has to be seen how she can handle the surface. #4 <\/SPAN>UNREAL WOLF(KY) 8\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=154297<\/SPAN><\/A><\/SPAN> 10 Races \u2013 2 Wins \u2013 57,530$\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Off: 0 Races The Stephen Got Even filly really doesn\u2019t fit into the race, a huge step in class, no speed number of 100+, no run over more than 9f, and 0 races at an off-track, so what can we expect, I tend to say nothing, well, if someone finds a reason to support the filly, let me know, until then I can not give a reason to back her. #5 <\/SPAN>ANNANA(KY) 10\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=149281<\/A> 7 Races \u2013 3 Wins \u2013 165,700$ Off: 0 Races Ships in from the Grade 1 at North carolina, where she was beaten solid by Mind Eraser and Wall of Salt, finishing a useful 4th<\/SUP>. But she was fading at the end loosing ground to the winner. She has no off-track experience, so we can expect everything from a flop to a career high best race. She looks weaker than Mind eraser, and I don\u2019t see her reverse form today. Just an outside shot, if she can handle the sloppy track. #6 <\/SPAN>GRAUPOINT(KY) 5\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=144192<\/SPAN><\/A><\/SPAN> 14 Races \u2013 5 Wins \u2013 157,700$ Off: 1 Race \u2013 1 Win \u2013 19,080$ The Point Given filly won her 1st<\/SUP> race on a sloppy dirt course, running a solid 70 over 6f in her 2yo debut. Since then she has had her ups and downs, after winning a 12f Stakes Race in may ran a disappointing 7th<\/SUP> in the Grade 3 Vogue Handicap, it looks 10f is just too short for her, looked much better going 12f, it has to be seen how her maiden win can translate here. At least she brings a 100% surface record into the race. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Could provide a small upset, but I see her finishing just outside the Top 3. #7 <\/SPAN>PRADO’S BALLADO(KY) 6\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=53977<\/A> 12 Races \u2013 6 Wins \u2013 344,950$ Off: 0 Races Finished a distanced 2nd<\/SUP> to Cosimo in the Chestnut Stakes, just like Cosimo she comes back to one of her favourite tracks, however she not only has a race 1 furlong shorter this time, which i think will not be to her advantage, but also is facing an off-track for the first time in her career, the question is, \u201cwill she like it or not?\u201d. The answer to that can only the race bring, I think she may be in the battle for 2nd<\/SUP>, but might be better off in 11-12f races, as she really closed a lot of ground towards the end in the Chestnut Stakes. #8 <\/SPAN>MAMBO ON THE MOON(SAF) 10\/1 http:\/\/www.simulatedsports.net\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=143361<\/A> 16 Races \u2013 6 Wins \u2013 257,024$ Off: 0 Races If experience counted, her 16 races would be good enough fir 1st<\/SUP>, if it was a name contest, give it to her by 5 lengths, but well, it is a horse race, and as it is a 10f race on a sloppy dirt track, I don\u2019t see her in the top 5. No Off-Track experience, her only 10f race she won handily, but faded in the end, winning by only 2 lengths and a mediocare 74 speed number. She already has won 2 Stakes Races this year, and runs about every 3 weeks, so she is on schedule, but too many question marks.
