The race is 5 1\/2 furlongs on a fast track. The purse is $40,000.<\/P><P>1 (9\/5) &#8211; Favorite <B>COREY&#8217;S LUCK<\/B> <B>(KY) <\/B>is coming into the Sand Lizard off a victory in the Kittyhawk Stakes. This summer, she finished third in the Speed Bluff Challenge. She&#8217;s shown a general pattern of gradual improvement throughout her two-year-old season, but if she wants two wins in a row, she&#8217;ll have to contend with NIGHTHAWK PRIME.<\/P><P>2 (2\/1) &#8211; It&#8217;s difficult to separate second-choice <B>NIGHTHAWK PRIME (IRE) <\/B>from favorite COREY&#8217;S LUCK. Both fillies ran identical speed numbers in their most recent races &#8211; 82 &#8211; and have consistently improved throughout the year. NIGHTHAWK PRIME has actually earned more money than COREY&#8217;S LUCK. She&#8217;s finished on the board in three stakes races, and won the Endless Hana Special in September.<\/P><P>3 (3\/1) &#8211; <B>BLUERAE (KY)<\/B> &#8211; This Bluegrass Cat filly is still a maiden, having finished second in her only start, a Maiden Special Weight. It looks like she has some talent, but this is an ambitious placing for such an inexperienced racehorse.<\/P><P>4 (9\/2) &#8211; <B>STORMY PETREL (KY) <\/B>had a rough race last time out in the Grade II Margarine Stakes, where she finished last. She is capable of doing better &#8211; she won a Maiden Special Weight and an NW2L allowance before finishing second in the Repulsively Pop Bonanza. It&#8217;ll be difficult to win here going up against the likes of COREY&#8217;S LUCK and NIGHTHAWK PRIME, but she could very well battle FIDDLE&#8217;N KRIS for third.<\/P><P>5 (5\/1) &#8211; <B>FIDDLE&#8217;N KRIS (JPN) <\/B>has done well in a number of allowance races, although she hasn&#8217;t won since breaking her maiden in May. Without a major improvement, it&#8217;s unlikely she&#8217;ll be fighting for a win, but with a good race she could certainly hit the board. At 5\/1, she looks to be a better value than both STORMY PETREL and the untested BLUERAE.<\/P><\/FONT><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corey&#8217;s Luck, Nighthawk Prime expected to battle for the win<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":389,"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":[2,3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews","category-reviews","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6883","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\/389"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6883\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
