Recent win in The Bold Fred Cap Stakes with a speed of 117 is why it is the favourite.\u00a0 So that was a pretty impressive run you would have to agree.\u00a0 However last time out couldnt back it up and failed finishing a disappointing and fading 8th place.\u00a0 Not the most consistent horse &#8211; take your chances.<BR>\u00a0\u00a0 <BR>8 <STRONG>DREGS OF THE KEGS(KY)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 deyoto2\u00a0\u00a0 29\/1\u00a0 <BR>Dregs of the Kegs and we are probably getting to the dregs of this race.\u00a0 Out at 29\/1 is one of the real roughies.\u00a0 Is in good form though.\u00a0 Speed rating of 106 in his last Allowance race and was closing not fading at the end.\u00a0 So you never know &#8211; will need a good run, stay off the kegs for now and concentrate on pumping those legs.\u00a0 Fantastic odds if he does come in thats for sure.<\/P><P>\u00a0\u00a0 <BR>9\u00a0 <STRONG>HENIANLAUCH(KY)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 crandyiv\u00a0 36\/1\u00a0 <BR>Longshot of this race is Henianlauch out of Hennessy and trained by crandyiv.\u00a0 This one has a decent earnings total of over $650k and looks like he may be coming back into form.\u00a0 Racing of late in Allowance company is coming off a third place finish over 7 1\/2 furlongs and prior to that a second place finish over 8 furlongs.\u00a0 Was leading or close to in both races so the drop in distance here can only benefit him.\u00a0 Will need to produce a very good run to trouble these ones though.<BR>\u00a0\u00a0 <BR>10\u00a0 <STRONG>VALENDAR(KY)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 tigereye\u00a0\u00a024\/1\u00a0\u00a0 <BR>Another one that has run recently in the wet but this one certainly didnt enjoy it.\u00a0 Lots of mud splattered all over him he much preferred the hard and dry and fast tracks.\u00a0 So the trainer has wisely put him back onto the fast dirt track here and is a real chance.\u00a0 Has big odds but a recent win in The Royal Desert Bonanza over 7 furlongs really impresses me particularly if you look at his speed in that race.\u00a0 Only the 3yo and lightly raced &#8211; this one could be a surprise&#8230;<BR>\u00a0 <BR>11\u00a0<STRONG>FOREST HEIGHTS<\/STRONG>\u00a0 gonads\u00a0\u00a0 13\/1\u00a0 <BR>A lot of these horses have been running at the Allowance level and are trying to make the step up to Stakes again after some good form and this one is no exception.\u00a0 Recent win with a good speed rating and coming from behind too which seems to be his trait.\u00a0 Trainer has him perfectly placed distance wise over 7 furlongs so its all up to the horse now to perform here today.\u00a0 Very good chance if he gets a good run through the pack.<BR>\u00a0\u00a0 <BR>12\u00a0 <STRONG>WHO DO YOU LOVE(KY)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 lenny9\u00a0\u00a0 7\/1\u00a0\u00a0 <BR>Who Do You Love?
