Easily the race of the week with #1-ranked dirt route older horse Call Of The Wild II <\/STRONG>continuing his claim to the older male title.\u00a0 IMO, Gipper’s colt is the most underrated and ‘unknown’\u00a0divisional leader\u00a0in the game… there just hasn’t been too many older horses that have captured the Sim’s fancy over the years.\u00a0 ‘Wild won the CA Classic(G1, 10f)<\/EM> in fine style previously and bravely goes to bat again in another tough battle.\u00a0 One to watch if he can pull this off.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

Sophomore filly phenom Swift Kick<\/STRONG> tests her elders for the very first time in this\u00a0Breeders Bowl prep (a sixteenth shorter than the BB Distaff).\u00a0 She’s gonna have a tough assignment with brazen older mares such as Bumblebee Classic (G1, 8f)<\/EM> winner Gingivitis<\/STRONG> and GSR Mares (G1, 8f)<\/EM> champ Homecoming Dance<\/STRONG>.\u00a0\u00a0Both mares trying to overcome that extra bit of ground.\u00a0\u00a0Chubby Visa (G2, 8.5f)<\/EM> victoress Glass Heart<\/STRONG> is on a terrifying 2-race win streak and merits serious respect as the one to beat.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

The pick of the GSR Diamond litter!\u00a0\u00a0 Hoserhead Juvy(G1)<\/EM> champ Terrordega<\/STRONG> squares off against unbeaten dual Grade 3 winner Rhibus<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Rhibus has the edge, winning over the mile LTO.\u00a0 \u00a0Terrordega beat Deputy Goldseeker<\/STRONG>, but the latter colt smoked a mile recently in listed company thus claims ahead of the game.\u00a0 Racetime fave Ab Fab<\/STRONG> soaked up\u00a0a sloppy graded sprint and makes his two-turns debut like a threatening titan.\u00a0 \u00a0Got the lines to go the distance too, so watch him from behind the frontrunners.\u00a0 \u00a0Crytpo Flow<\/STRONG> brings Grade 1 credentials to the table and royal bred Fernando Storm<\/STRONG> keeps on improving.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
