This is a closely matched group so jockey tactics and racing luck will probably play important roles in determining the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Here is a closer look at the field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#7<br>night&#8217;s first step &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>asrstar18 barn&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>n stalker &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9\/1<\/strong><br><br>Out of the <strong>asrstar18 barn <\/strong>is this three year old <strong>NIGHT OF THUNDER <\/strong>colt out of the Sim Mare <strong>RYANS STEPS<\/strong>.Four of his seven starts have come at Grade Stakes with the best results being two fourth place finishes which came at the &#8220;G1 Nonethorpe&#8221; and the &#8220;G1 Gene Luke Prix&#8221;. Last time out he ran 91 speed at the six and a half furlong &#8220;G2 Lost My Keys Stakes&#8221; where he finished eighth and more than three furlongs back of winner <strong>BREEZE UP<\/strong>.

Last time out he blazed 93 speed and finished second at the &#8220;Minstrel Jay Turf Special&#8221;. He makes his second start of 2026 here and should be in the mix to find a spot on the board.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>#2<br>steve williams &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>rtribett2 barn&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>a darling&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9\/2<br><br><\/strong>Out of the <strong>rtribett2 barn<\/strong> is this three year old scratch bred <strong>CONTRAIL (x THEATRICAL x SIYOUNI) <\/strong>colt.He ended his two year old season with a 90 speed thirteenth place finish at the &#8220;G1 Breeders Bowl Juvenile Turf&#8221; but rebounded nicely last time out when he blazed 101 speed at an Allowance Race in California where he beat <strong>BRAVO MADRID<\/strong> by more than three lengths . He should like the distance here and with that big speed he might be hard to catch as they come down the stretch.<br><br><strong>#9<br>third eruption &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>tarton9 barn<br>s flagdown &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4\/1<\/strong><br><br>Out of the <strong>tarton9 barn<\/strong> is this three year old <strong>ERUPT <\/strong>gelding out of the Sim Mare <strong>LV INTREPID<\/strong>.

His breeding suggests he might prefer the dirt but he has run well on the turf and comes in off back to back runner-up finishes on the grass which came at the &#8220;Otto O Turf Juvenile&#8221; and &#8220;Z Celebre Turf Route&#8221;. He may prefer to run at around seven furlongs but will give nine furlongs a go for the second straight race and he should be in the mix.<br><br><strong>#1<br>spellbound road &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>epicenter barn&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>d esperado&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6\/1<br><\/strong><br>Out of the <strong>epicenter barn<\/strong> is this three year old <strong>QUALITY ROAD <\/strong>colt out of the Sim Mare <strong>FEELS LIKE MAGIC. <\/strong>He has finished in the money four of his six career starts including three wins.

His first start of this year came at a mile Allowance race in Idaho and he impressed with 97 speed in a gate to wire win over <strong>PROVIDEMEAWIN<\/strong>. He will look to run near the front of the pack in the early going and should be flying as they come down the stretch.<br><br><strong>#3<br>once and future &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>sremel37 barn&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>gi johnson&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5\/1<br><\/strong><br>Out of the <strong>sremel37 barn<\/strong> is this three year <strong>CAMELOT <\/strong>colt out of the Sim Mare <strong>HARU URARA<\/strong>.

He followed that up one month later with an eight and a half furlong 96 speed win over <strong>WOOTTZILEO<\/strong>.
