MTK and GALLOPLAZ SIM Joint Venture <\/B><\/I>trained colt by <\/SPAN>CACIQUE (IRE)<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from the he-mare PRAIRIE TRAIL(KY) <\/B>he has raced 13 times for 7 wins and $296,304<\/P>

In earnings he had a terrific year at 2yrs with 4 wins and a 3rd<\/SUP> from 5 starts and caped the year off with a win in <\/SPAN>The STARKE STORM Stakes<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> <\/B>8f 85sp his best efforts this season have also been over a mile with wins in <\/SPAN>The CAT S A COMING Special<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>95sp and <\/SPAN>The BBORS A BLUFFIN(IRE) Challenge<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>107sp his speeds are increasing at the right time and back to a mile he should be hard to beat.<\/P>

Chiknsmack Stables <\/B><\/I>trained colt by <\/SPAN>RED CLUBS<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from the SW mare BANANA BRIO <\/B>he has raced 13 times for 5 wins $281,500 and looks a horse of the best quality which lead me to breed his 2yrold sister <\/SPAN>ENCOSTAMATE(AUS)<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> who I only hope is as good as this fellow and his siblings. He is yet to race at a mile and this is the only question mark when judging his hopes. He was a stunning winner in the Hawkz Guineas-G3 <\/B>7f 116sp and last time out was 3rd<\/SUP> after leading in the Smellington Guineas-G3 <\/B>7.5f 111sp improving out of sight lately if he gets the distance he wins.<\/P>

His wins include <\/SPAN>The SCHOOL KRIS(GB) Special<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A>-Stk <\/B>101sp <\/SPAN>The PAYCHECK(IRE) Stakes<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> 113sp and two starts ago <\/SPAN>The DYARDANES Stakes<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> 114sp last time out he ran 2nd<\/SUP> in The Crying Station-Stk <\/B>117sp his fastest races have been over a mile and he will fight out the finish again here.<\/P>

More Evil Than The Evil Empire! <\/B><\/I>trained colt by <\/SPAN>DYNAFORMER<\/B><\/SPAN><\/A> from the GP SW RAN AWAY <\/B>he has raced 19 times winning 3 and $216,426 in earnings he has won over the distance but best form is in allowance company and may find some of these a little tough. Although last time out he won the Panhandle Derby-Stk <\/B>9f 112sp proving distance will hold no fears for him. Will race with the leaders and be hard to catch in the stretch.<\/P>

As much as I want Niclas to succeed I really cant see him winning this good luck mate.<\/P>
