In what looks to be a reasonably close field, some heavy hitters amongst this division look to cement their rankings as we head towards racings holy grail in the not too distant future.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">1. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">LEAVINGONAJETPLANE<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">urso<\/I> \u2013 Spectacular start to this one\u2019s career with three wins on the trot, including a very promising speed of 100 in her third. Since then has tailed off a bit, but the return to this distance should help. Will still a career best to compete here.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">2. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">FILET CHEVAL<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">hansg<\/I> \u2013 Filly with a very impressive breeding lines, headed up by Mineshaft, makes her stakes debut after a torrent of success through the allowance ranks. She\u2019s certainly found consistency hardly ever putting in a disappointing run, but possibly lacks the edge of the much higher ranking runners she\u2019s amongst.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">3. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">HELLFIRE <\/B>\u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">kevoman<\/I> &#8211; Three starts ago one would say this little lady is going places fast, after blitzing the field in the <EM>Sultry Shin Special<\/EM> at Puerto Rico, Circumstances since have dealt a cruel blow with an off track (although she did admirably well), and then perhaps not enough ground at her last, consequently that brilliant winning form lost it\u2019s shine a fraction. Slightly extra rest this time around should have hit the reset button putting her well within reach of victory here.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">4. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">BUBBLEGUM ROCK(IRE)<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">highpoint<\/I> \u2013 This filly looks to be one of those really frustrating types, throwing in a spectacular run as good as any horse in her class, then the very next run crawling back into her shell with a rather modest showing. This has me concerned as her last run was one of the spectacular ones, and also added to the equation is a real indication that perhaps she\u2019d prefer to be running at an even longer distance than she has to date. Can do it, but it\u2019ll depend what mood she\u2019s in.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">5. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">STORMSHAFT<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">tripcrown9<\/I> \u2013 There\u2019s not much I can say about this little girl that hasn\u2019t already been said. Interestingly however will she ever win a G1? A question I\u2019m sure her trainer asks constantly. Twice now she\u2019s come perilously close only to miss out at the death. This weeks run should result in another feather in the cap, with proven ability just a tad better than the rest here, she will still however need to be at her best.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">6. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">GENUINE <\/B><st1:City><st1:place><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">ORANGE<\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">donut<\/I> \u2013 Graded racing for this Hansel filly has been quite a mixed bag, and rather unkind at times, however she makes a return to the top level after some spirit performances at ungraded level. The distance here looks to be within her comfort zone, and her current form should have her competitive here indeed. At least a top three finish should be well within her reach.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">7. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">GO FOR BLUFF<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">gowand8<\/I> &#8211; Last G3 start three runs ago brought out this girls&#8217; best ever, but when going for greater glory at even higher levels, form suffered quite dramatically. Dropping back again to G3 for this weeks race should theoretically bring with it a return to form. Nine furlongs looks to be the limit at this stage, so this race fits in very nicely. This is one to watch very closely, an upset is far from out of the question.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">8. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">MOLLY RULES<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">dundey2 <\/I>\u2013 Despite finishing top two in six of eight starts, success thus far has come at allowance level, and a disappointing showing in a G1 last time out, really indicates she\u2019s up against it here. That\u2019s not too say she won\u2019t succeed in the future, but at this point in time she\u2019s perhaps bitten off just a little too much.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">9. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">THEY CALL ME MAGIC<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">slipery1<\/I> \u2013 Odds of 9\/1 are a little cruel in my mind, as this girl has every chance of taking honours in this race. Her last run could easily be written off, as it seems 10f is just too far. A shortening up here, can do nothing but goods things. Don\u2019t the odds fool you, this girl is a contender.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">10. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">CADILLAC MOON<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">blackswan<\/I> \u2013 Despite quite unbelievably good speed this filly has been robbed of victory sine five starts ago. Graded company hasn\u2019t seemed to hinder this girl\u2019s progress and performance in the slightest. Unquestionably she\u2019s one of the outright contenders here and clearly the one most likely to take it to the favourite.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">11. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">DAYLIGHT T (IRE)<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">highbreed<\/I> \u2013 Although a little on the sporadic side as far as consistency is concerned, this filly has proven beyond doubt she posses\u2019s enormous speed potential. Consistency issues could possibly be put down to a variation in race lengths she\u2019s competed in of late, but rest assured if the \u2018fast\u2019 horse lines up at the gate, it\u2019ll be quite a job holding her out.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">12. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">ABADIA DA COVA<\/B> \u2013 <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">triska<\/I> \u2013 It took till the last horse on this race\u2019s card, but here we find the early pacesetter. Previous stakes efforts have brought rather modest results and in recent times allowance level has been the stomping ground, in fact winning her last two starts. She\u2019s never run a speed needed to win this race so a career best will be required, but of all the up and comers this is the one likely to find that improvement.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">It looks as though the favourite will be tough to beat, but there&#8217;s certainly enough talent to make life very uncomfortable for her indeed. Good luck all, and may they all come back healthy.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Cheers<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stormshaft Tough to Beat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":354,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/354"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
