A field of ten Two-year-old Colts will navigate around two turns for the first time in the $150,000 Grade 3 <\/em>Looking Forward Stakes<\/em>.  The race will be run at One Mile over the Turf Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FASTCARSNFREEDOM \u2013 <\/strong>making up ground late in all six of his career starts, the tfon<\/em> connections are hopeful that the added distance and an extra turn is the recipe for success for this gelded son of Exceed and Excel<\/em>\u2026 making his first stakes appearance in the Mr Xyz Turf Juvenile<\/em> LTO, the IRE<\/strong> bred was making a late bid before running out of racetrack in the Six and a half furlong feature while getting the best of FRENCH DETZKY <\/strong>and EXPERTLY BRED<\/strong>, both whom draw outside of him in today\u2019s feature\u2026Dam produced multiple stakes and stakes placed runners, however, the bulk of their success  came while sprinting\u2026stretch threat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COAGULATE KENNEDYS \u2013 <\/strong>well thought of 2-Year-Old Brown Colt by Kennedy<\/em>, the corza<\/em> connections immediately challenged the OH<\/strong> bred on the dirt at the Allowance level, albeit a NW1y, and after a 2nd<\/sup> place finished, transitioned to a non-competitive effort in a Listed Stakes and equally uninterested start in the Faber College Juvenile<\/em>\u2026slick connections quickly recognized a failed strategy, switched surfaces, and dropped into a maiden claimer where he finished third, then dropped to his lowest level in his next start at the Local Maiden level and proved much the best traveling the seven panels in 1:24:3 with a career best 80 speed figure\u2026showing a preference to the green, connections once again try there hand at the graded level here on Saturday\u2026must show more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIREDIMES \u2013 <\/strong>runner up in the GR Simsters Future StarsStakes<\/em> in his racing debut, the robsscoobi<\/em> trained son of Frankel<\/em> quickly made amends in his next start with a gate to wire victory at the MSW level in NSW\u2026out of the Stakes winning Mare THANXTOOTAFFY<\/strong>(Street Cry<\/em>), Dam of G1 winning KIVAX<\/strong>, winner of the 10f G1 Prince Of Whales<\/em>, there should be no doubting his class or ability to handle two turns\u2026dangerous<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SELFISH RAGE \u2013 <\/strong>you have to be impressed with the tenpoint<\/em> trained 2-Year-Old Bay Colt by Frankel\u2019s<\/em> second place finish LTO over a Yielding Surface in the 3away Turf Special<\/em>, finishing ahead of Grade 1 winner I AM IN DEEP<\/strong>\u2026should delight at the distance\u2026no grade one winners in this field\u2026one to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VYZI BASKET \u2013 <\/strong>kudos to the cancun<\/em> connections for snatching this PA Bred out of a 6k Claimer in his debut\u2026the son of Twisted Mister<\/em> immediately rewarded his new connections with a win at the Allowance level and following up with victories in the Green Van Turf Juvenile<\/em> and Huskie Q B Casey P Turf Juvenile<\/em> respectively, earning a start in Saturday\u2019s G3 feature \u2026 the undefeated Gelding has checks all the boxes and pedigree suggests he will handle the added distance as and looks to continue his streak while -furlong around two turns for the first time\u2026might be this good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEITHERSYNDICATION \u2013 <\/strong>the thebigshow<\/em> trained 2-Year-Old Bay Colt by Soldier Hollow<\/em> is the last offspring of the G2 winning, multi stakes producing mare RIDE FOR SHOW<\/strong>, winner of the 8-fulong Fujimoto Stakes<\/em>\u2026the three-time winning GER<\/strong> bred has made an impact over both the dirt and turf course averaging a 79-speed figure in those four starts.  Speed figures put him right in the mix, while his pedigree suggests he will handle the added distance\u2026might need to rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FRENCH DETZKY \u2013 <\/strong>the heinzkruger<\/em> trained 2-Year-Old Bay Colt by Wootton Basset<\/em> was nothing short of sensational in his first three starts, capping off the troika with a convincing victory in the 6-furlong Atlantian Turf Juvenile<\/em>\u2026the FR bred faltered in his last start in the 6.5-furlong Mr Xyz Turf Juvenile<\/em> finishing behind FASTCARSNFREEDOM<\/strong>, and while his immediate influence suggest he prefers sprinting, he will have to rely on his Grand Dam DARK SIDE OF SUN <\/strong>to negotiate the two turns\u2026must not falter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXPERTLY BRED \u2013 <\/strong>got to love that Allowance win two back, a key race that saw third place finisher HATED SEPOY<\/strong> finish ITM in multiple stakes races in his following starts\u2026the selurnivek<\/em> trainee by Expert Eye<\/em> failed to fire in the Mr Xyz Turf Juvenile <\/em>LTO finishing on even terms with FRENCH DETZKY <\/strong>and behind FASTCARSNFREEDOM<\/strong>\u2026Dam has produced multiple turf routers, one a stakes winner, so pedigree influence suggests an improved effort going around two turns\u2026deserves another chance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIGRAINE RELIEF \u2013 <\/strong>fastest of the fast might best describe the lenny<\/em> trained 2-Year-Old Bay Colt by I Am Invincible\u2026while the field was nothing to write home about in his last start, that 87-speed figure put up in that 7.5-furlong Allowance prep should catch the attention of everyone in this field\u2026Dam was modest at best during her racing career, but she has proven much more efficient producer with one stakes winner and multiple Allowance winners\u2026will his kryptonite be that even 8 panels is a tad short, dams influence suggest a possibility, but that\u2019s hoping against hope\u2026one to catch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE WARBREAKER \u2013 <\/strong>second of the lenny<\/em> entries, this a 2 Year Old Bay Colt by War Front<\/em>, out of the  G3 winning, stakes producing mare THE KINGBREAKER<\/strong>, winner of the G3 Davola Dane South<\/em> on the Dirt\u2026the KY bred returns to the Turf, where he was near perfect, after a failed effort in the Huge Glacken Dirt Juvenile<\/em>\u2026finished third to WILL TAKE RAHYS<\/strong> in the Curlwaa Turf Juvenile<\/em> two back who went on to finish behind FASTCARSNFREEDOM <\/strong>in the Mr Xyz Turf Juvenile<\/em>\u2026should improve with distance but maybe the lesser of the lenny<\/em> duo\u2026throw out last<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handicapping the Field<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SELFISH RAGE <\/strong>and FIREDIMES <\/strong>figure to be the major players in this field giving SELFISH RAGE <\/strong>the slight advantage with its second-place finish over the G1 winning I AM IN DEEP.  FIREDIMES <\/strong>is packed with the pedigree of a cham, pion and hails from sharp connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIGRAINE RELIEF <\/strong>is fast but will have to contend with early pressure from NEITHERSYNDICATION <\/strong>and whatever other speed presents itself when horses go around two turns for the first time. The latter might be the most compromised while keeping the pace honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No telling how good VYZI BASKET <\/strong>really is, but best to disregard this horse debuted a claimer, he\u2019s clearly not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FASTCARSNFREEDOM<\/strong>, FRENCH DETZKY<\/strong>, EXPERTLY BRED<\/strong>, and THE WARBREAKER <\/strong>are all connected through the Mr Xyz Turf Juvenile<\/em>, and while FASTCARSNFREEDOM <\/strong>benefits most from an early speed duel, the chances are the added distance will propel one of them over the others, but unlikely past the top tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COAGULATE KENNEDYS <\/strong>is an up and down sort who appears overmatched in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Picks<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SELFISH RAGE \u2013 gets a Class edge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIGRAINE RELIEF \u2013 might be too fast for these.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
