5-year-old has rock-solid breeding (A.P. Indy to a Mr. P stakeswinning mare).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her success this year was largely limited to the allowance ranks this year until popping a 115 in the Wooden<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType> last month in Wisconsin<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is plenty fast overall though, and usually keeps in good contact with the leaders.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s a mile specialist, which some others in here are not.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Still, it could require pairing up a big number to win this, and she has not done so in the past.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rolling will have to keep her rolling.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

From Congaree\u2019s impressive rookie year as sire, this is another mare coming off an impressive-looking stakes score.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While that Iowa<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> stakes was on the slop, she has plenty of big races in her history on fast ground, so the dry footing should not be a concern.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has the same running style as the horse to her inside, which might be worse news for her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Even so, this nine-time winner could be ready for her first graded score.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

It is hard to get more consistently good than DOCTOR DANZIG<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Since February, she has posted a speed between 105 and 110 in every race with two exceptions \u2013 and those were a 102 and a 115.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She parlayed that into victories in the Grade 1 Dancer Cap and the Grade 3 Girls Just Right.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last out, she nearly took down the Breeders Bowl Mare Sprint, but was outmotored in the stretch by winner CLARK<\/B><\/st1:PlaceName> COUNTY<\/st1:PlaceType><\/B><\/st1:place>(KY).<\/B>\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is the third in a row here who has really turned it on in her 5-year-old season, and she is now the 3rd ranked female sprinter.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It does not appear that going a mile will cause her connections concern, since many of those top recent races were at 7 or 7.5 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A worthy favorite, but P Davis might have to come up with a game plan to avoid traffic.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

One of our sophomores, she burned out early in the Mare Sprint mentioned above and finished up the track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s been doing that with regularity since a streak of facile frontrunning wins ended this summer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s still a young gal, and as a STORM CAT x MR. PROSPECTOR x BUCKPASSER there is every possibility of further improvement in the tank.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She just might have to be five lengths in front at the third call to have a chance of winning.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Trainer bigiron changed tactics in the Excessive Class last month and sent AS IS(KY) <\/B>from the gate.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It worked, as she posted a 106 speed and her first win since March.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u00a0 <\/SPAN>rates an upset chance at moderate odds if she can do it again, but it will be a risky bet.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This might also not be a good field to try the wire-to-wire strategy on again.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

She was the first foal out of her stakeswinning mare GRIZABELLA<\/B>, and so far the best.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>What\u2019s weird is that her last race was the first time she finished out of the trifecta since her last-place debut run.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s been off since that Grade 3 in September, but she is lightly raced overall this year \u2013 only 6 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is usually her distance and she\u2019s probably good enough, but others are sharper than the 103 she posted last out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Interesting in the trifecta spot based on her record.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Lois is alive but not a stakeswinner like many in here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The second of our two Victory Gallops (also AS IS(KY)<\/B>), she comes off a decent 5th in the longer King Classic in Germany<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>, where she may just have run by lesser horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A few 101s are her top speeds in the PPs, and it is hard to construct a scenario where that would win this contest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One scenario is that she hangs well back as she did last race, then picks up the pieces from those with wide trips around the oval.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But I might ask for more than 14\/1 if I were counting on that angle.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Claimed a year ago for $25k, she has certainly been worth it for hilary7170.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The Unbridled\u2019s Song 4-year-old scored her Grade 1 in South Korea<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>\u2019s Gracie Law Distaff, which is an impressive rise from non-winning dam KNAPP TIME<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Based on her record, she may need to stay close to the leaders to win, even though she has finished in the money when serving as a closer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The last two were not that impressive, although one was a last place in the Breeders Bowl Distaff, so that might be excused.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She might also be tired after a busy 17-race season, and as a bettor you might want to sit this one out.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Our other sophomore is the only truly top-notch product of the A-rated mare GHOUL\u2019S GOLD<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was second in the Breeders Bowl Distaff that RED HOT AND ROCKIN(KY) <\/B>struggled with, and that followed grade 1 victories in two 3-year-old-only contests.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her trainer understandably thought turf with the Dynaformer lass, but she has really turned it on since switching to the sand.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her deep, deep closing style is well-suited to this bunch, and she is my pick to win at 6\/1.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
