Topicount Stables <\/B><\/I>trained colt by <\/SPAN>CORINTHIAN<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from the stakes placed mare GOLCONDA<\/B> he has raced 9 times for 2 wins and $99,200 won first up in Arkansas this time last year over soon after his trainer jumped him up in distance for a good 2nd<\/SUP> in an allowance 8f race ran 3rd<\/SUP> in <\/SPAN>The MOMENTARY QUEST Memorial<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>8.5f and 2nd<\/SUP> in the <\/SPAN>The THE STING Handicap<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>8.5f and last time out won over 9f. Distance will be no problem but did struggle in only graded race might find some of these a little tough.<\/P>

Colt by <\/SPAN>EXCELLENT ART (GB)<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from the stakes winning mare CAUSE AND EFFECT(IRE) <\/B>he is trained by Dixiedotco Racing <\/B><\/I>he has raced 5 times for 4 wins and a 2nd<\/SUP> and you cant get much better form than that. He has raced on turf for all of those starts and he tries to carry that form over to dirt. He has improved as the distances increased and last time out won <\/SPAN>The SUPREME STAR Challenge<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>over 9.5f in a 85sp. It will be interesting to see if he can measure up to graded company on the dirt personally I think it\u2019s a bit to tough but you can never underestimate his trainer.<\/P>

Will race just behind the leaders and hope to kick home in stretch.<\/P>

More Evil Than The Evil Empire! <\/B><\/I>trained colt by <\/SPAN>AWESOME AGAIN<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from UNBRIDLED GOLD <\/B>he has won 3 of his 4 starts to date and would have to be considered in this very even field stumbled at last race though and that\u2019s a bit of a worry. If that was a glitch in his career he may bounce back again.<\/P>

Won a msw first up followed by two allowance wins if he handles jump to graded racing might be the one for the odds takers. Looks the likely pacemaker and might beat them all off.<\/P>
