Welcome to The Field PP 1<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> BROAD STREET TR <\/B>mmstable33 JKY R Simcox ML 5\/1 The 6 year old son of <\/A>WAR EMBLEM x AFFIRMED x KINGMAMBO is the morning line favorite and leaves from the wood. He ran in last years event and came home 6th<\/SUP> since then he has strung together a series of real nice spf\u2019s at 7.5 and 8f. \u00a0<\/SPAN>The best of these performances is the G3 win he put together at the end of May. The horse likes to sit mid back and unleash a powerful move on the leaders around the third call. If he is hitting the top at that point he may take home this elusive title. Last year the move never came so beware.<\/P> PP 2<\/B> GIMME SOME LOVE(IRE) TR <\/B>beduino JKY P Incay ML 9\/1 The 4 year old <\/A>MONTJEU (IRE) x LE FABULEUX x RIBOT has made 21 starts but this will be his first at the graded level. That first\u00a0jump can be a bumpy journey or a leap towards sim immortality. This one has a nice string of allowance scores, the last a blistering 112 win going wire to wire. He will be looking to wing it out on the front end here but will the gas tank hold out until the finish. At 9-1 the value choices may loom elsewhere with horses who have succeeded at this level before. <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> PP 3 SMARTY HAACK TR <\/B>otto JKY N Bonus ML 8\/1 This son of <\/A>SMARTY JONES x KINGMAMBO x PLEASANT COLONY looked like he might be one of those career maidens waiting until it\u2019s 10th<\/SUP> race before finally breaking through with a win. The real career change however took place in race 20 when he made his first start on the lawn. He started stringing together some nice allowance performances and now in race 30 he makes his first graded try. An eye popping wire to wire score in an spf of 113 in his last shows the horse racing life may really begin at 5. Not sure again that these sizzling allowance scores will be the best indicator of who runs best here but it sure would make a good story.<\/P> PP 4<\/B> AREWEHOMEYET(KY) TR <\/B>andycapper JKY T Bates ML 22\/1 The 4 year old son of <\/A>CAME HOME x DUBAI MILLENNIUM (GB) x DYNAFORMER has been overlooked by the track odds setter perhaps because his last win came back in April. His speeds have not been up to what some of the others have been running lately. He is a deep closer with a great stretch burst so if the pace setters go too quick he might be able to pick up the pieces. Will likely need a career effort and some racing luck too if he hopes to pick up a check.<\/P> PP 5<\/B> WELLS GHOST TED(WV) TR <\/B>cashstable JKY A Lewis ML 8\/1 A 4 year old out of GHOSTLY MINISTER x SADLER’S WELLS x RED RANSOM bred and trained by this sires most successful supporter, I think (avail for 29 pts or credits at last look). His stables are all separated to avoid the press honing in on his techniques. A look at past performances reveals he has been sent on the alternate route from some of the earlier previewed horses in that he has been running in stakes and graded races all year. He has turned in some very respectable performances in those races earning checks in nearly all but not the winners slice since an allowance back in May. Will the campaign bear dividends here or is Wells Ghost Ted worn out from the tough races?<\/P> PP 6<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> AMERICAN WEREWOLF TR <\/B>kensei JKY R Lombard ML 10\/1 With a half million banked and a regal pedigree <\/A>STORM CAT x FAPPIANO x NIJINSKY II has showed some dullness since a real nice run down under in an April G1. He flashed the talent that earned that dough two back in an allowance score in a 112 spf. He has a big mid race spurt that could see him taking the lead at the third call if he is on his game on Saturday. If the grass was soggy I might believe a bit more since his best performance came over the soft stuff but the firm turf might leave me looking elsewhere.<\/P> PP 7<\/SPAN><\/U><\/B> BELONGER(KY) TR <\/B>hillhouse JKY F Gossett ML 9\/1 This 4 year old colt out of BELONG TO ME x A.P. INDY x LOMOND is another who might prefer the wet grass. His last two wins have come on off tracks but he does have a nice stakes score earlier this year on firm ground. A stalker who makes a powerful move around the third call, so he might have the jump on others who have similar styles. Has the speed and class to do it but the up and down nature of his performance will make it hard to put your dough on his nose with confidence.<\/P> PP 8<\/B> One of the older guys in the race, this son of DYNAFORMER x KINGMAMBO x EL GRAN SENOR boasts quite a few GP\u2019s in his past performance chart making him one the few in here that have had success at this level. A bit of the bridesmaid never the bride syndrome shows in the charts as Kiwi has been real close to breaking his graded maiden but never quite got there. His spf\u2019s make him a major player in any exotic but can he stay close to the lead and still have enough left to hold off the Calvary? Not in best form at the moment so I am leaning towards saying no.<\/P> PP 9<\/B> \u00a0<\/SPAN>FLEETWOOD DYLAN TR <\/B>fleetwood JKY C Wood ML 17\/1 The 5 year old son of <\/A> PP 10<\/B> CARBON EXTRACTOR(KY) TR <\/B>brandt JKY K Keyser ML 11\/1 The 4 year old <\/A>ELUSIVE QUALITY x SPINNING WORLD x SUMMER SQUALL may be another late peaker that is just finding its best run. The 109 in his last race was a career best. Two caveats it came in an allowance score and the dreaded bounce looms as the connections are trying this one at the graded level for the first time behind that effort. He is a closer that will need to find running room late and his late charge will need perfect timing if he is to avoid being caught neither here nor there when the real running begins. Will he be too far behind the leaders and giving away too much ground to his fellow comeback artists? I think so.<\/P> PP 11<\/B> KRIS’S CAUSEWAY(IRE) TR <\/B>bosox JKY O Brim ML 9\/1 The spf numbers look solid and the level has been higher than most for this 5 year old <\/SPAN><\/B> PP 12<\/B> MAGICAL MERLIN TR <\/B>lordbyron JKY C Mecklenburg ML 7\/1 \u00a0<\/SPAN>
