Has gone ok in stakes being placed with a good speed.<BR><BR><STRONG>Movie House<\/STRONG> &#8211; Stakes winner as a 3yo and is going great guns in allowances as a 4yo. Last run was an eyecatching 2nd with a career best speed figure<BR><BR><STRONG>Powerform<\/STRONG> &#8211; Another stakes winner who is in good form with the exception of a poor run last start in a Group 1 race. Ran best speed figure just before that.<BR><BR><STRONG>Dazzler<\/STRONG>(Eng) &#8211; A multi stakes winner, this is probably the best performed over a good period of time. It is Group placed and consistantly runs seriously good speeds.<BR><BR><STRONG>Double Story<\/STRONG>(Ire) &#8211; Rising through the grades very well. Multi allowance winner and stakes placed. Another who runs very good speeds. Has a victory over Dazzler which showed it&#8217;s potential to win this.<BR><BR><STRONG>Headbuster(<\/STRONG>Eng) &#8211; Yet another multi allowance winner and stakes placed horse. Last 6 starts have been run at a fast clip.<BR><BR><STRONG>King Of Montville<\/STRONG> &#8211; Won an allowance on turf before going off line for over 4yrs. This 7yo came back with a slashing victory in a dirt allowance. Another win followed last time out. All runs have been on dirt since its return to racing.<BR><BR><STRONG>Birdman<\/STRONG> &#8211; Has won only 2 allowances but wow, what great speeds. Certainly this youngster&#8217;s potential will bring it into contention. Has won 3 from 6 and the trainer has been known to provide the odd miracle or two.<BR><BR><STRONG>Island Warrior(<\/STRONG>Ire) &#8211; Won 2 allowances by 4.5 and 5.5 lengths. Ran in a group 2 race 2 starts back so the trainer has a big opinion of it. Has a great place record.<BR><BR><STRONG>Noir In A Breeze<\/STRONG>(Swe) &#8211; Won 2 allowances the last one being its last start returning a 101 speed figure. A horse on the improve.<BR><BR><STRONG>Wonnaby Madder<\/STRONG>(Tur) &#8211; Very consistant. Has won 2 from 7 on turf. Hasn&#8217;t been tested to this degree before so it will be good to see how it goes.<BR><BR><STRONG>Lizzie&#8217;s Effect<\/STRONG>(Ire) &#8211; Stakes placed as a 3yo it&#8217;s last win was 2 starts back in a restricted $30k claimer. Too experienced to right off but there are some great performers in this.<BR><BR><STRONG>Graig Stadler<\/STRONG>(Ire) &#8211; Hasn&#8217;t raced under 10 f for 21 starts so has racked up the miles. Last win was a restricted $30k claimer.<BR><BR><STRONG>Top Linen<\/STRONG>(Aus) &#8211; Very lightly raced 5yo. It&#8217;s two victories have been routes one of which being a $7k allowance. Wouldn&#8217;t think it will trouble the big guns, but stranger things have happened.<BR><BR><STRONG>Pragmatic Pony<\/STRONG>(Aus) &#8211; Best win was a $40.5k allowance 5 starts back. Very consistant placegetter this grade, but hasn&#8217;t been tested in stakes company as yet.<BR><BR><STRONG>Surreptitiously<\/STRONG> &#8211; Has been running in allowances all around Europe. It&#8217;s last win though was 20 June 2008 in Qld where it has won 2 from 3 starts. Obviously loves running here, so don&#8217;t fully dismiss it if it gets a start.<BR><BR><STRONG>Two Miles<\/STRONG>(Aus) &#8211; Broke its maiden a few starts back and is allowance placed.<\/FONT><BR><!-- google_ad_section_end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written By Marto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":364,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews","category-reviews","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/364"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7613\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
