Rhode Island<\/STRONG>–\u00a0\u00a0 Troy5’s Lion Heart filly Thetis<\/STRONG>, fresh off of a stakes victory at British Columbia, tackles the boys in the rich $70,000 Sheep At The Woods Special<\/EM>.\u00a0 An assortment of recent MSW winners as well as stakes-placed freshmen colts and fillies navigate six furlongs on a fast track……..<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
A supreme closer, Thetis (5\/1) rallied in time to capture the 6f British Columbia event versus fillies.\u00a0 The filly boasts a precocious start to her career — she’s been knocking heads in GSR owner-restricted company, hitting the board in 5 of her 6 calls to the post.\u00a0 Thetis breaks from post 6 as the third-choice in the field of nine.\u00a0 She looks to better her lifetime best 81 SP#<\/STRONG> mark.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Anything can go though when facing unknown MSW winners.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The bookies tab twinoaks royal bred Fusaichi Spirit<\/STRONG> as the sure-enough<\/EM> odds on 8\/5 favorite.\u00a0 <\/FONT>\u00a0By FuPeg of course, the colt dispatched his intial MSW bow over 6f.\u00a0\u00a0 Afterwards, ‘Spirit gamely tried 7.5f at ALW level, finishing a distant but decent 3rd.\u00a0 With a pair of 80+ SP#s<\/STRONG> in the bank, the colt is bred to go two-turns and thensome.\u00a0 He’s just beginning to find his racing roots — still, a worthy favorite on paper.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Fusaichi Sprit breaks from the rail and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, another MSW winner breaks from the far outside.\u00a0 By Point Given, Mr. Purespeed<\/STRONG> (3\/1) galloped graciously to hit the board in his career bow — the colt then pocketed an 8f MSW with serious wire-to-wire ease.\u00a0 Purespeed’s trainee is also bred for two turns, but creditably boasts the highest SP# of this bunch:\u00a0 86 SP#<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Will be challenged for the pace, but classy enough at this point to lead from gate to post.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
At 7\/1, boxerwood’s White Stripe<\/STRONG> checks in off of two straight stakes placings.\u00a0 The Afleet colt made the most of the pace scrambles over the ultra-short 5.5f distance.\u00a0 \u00a0The speedster has yet to break the 80 SP# barrier despite seven trips to the post.\u00a0 Nice little guy should be competitve here — but you gotta experiment over something else eventually.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
The rest of the field go off at 11\/1 odds or more:<\/FONT><\/DIV>
  • Letsroll’s Balwood(IRE)<\/STRONG> (11\/1) is a former $10k claimer.\u00a0\u00a0 Did rally from off pace to score a 77 SP# in a runner-up ALW effort LTO.\u00a0\u00a0 Wildcard if he can scale the class hurdle.\u00a0 Possible for the board.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/LI>
  • Purespeed sends out the other half of their entry:\u00a0 Pure Love (IRE)<\/STRONG> (12\/1), by Moon Ballad(IRE).\u00a0 The colt doesn’t really boasts great numbers, but has consistency.\u00a0 Didn’t like the 7.5f stakes trip LTO —\u00a0 I’d wager that that was due to a class issue.\u00a0\u00a0Not much of a chance.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/FONT><\/LI>
  • Frankie’s Maker<\/STRONG> (12\/1) from dementa stable won’t do much with 60 SP#s.\u00a0 Tale of The Cat colt could vie for lead, but not much after that.<\/FONT><\/LI>
  • The other filly in the field, Peter Panda<\/STRONG> (12\/1), didn’t enjoy the turf LTO, but previously was pretty consistent over the dirt.\u00a0 Interestingly, she hasn’t been past 5.5f yet.\u00a0 Storm Boot daughter has some guts pressing the pace — but hasn’t passed the class level test.\u00a0\u00a0Could be mildly competitive for jeremyf.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/LI>
  • At 13\/1, ravenwood’s D’Arcy’s Song<\/STRONG> looked impressive when winning his career MSW debut, beating a big field to win going away over 6f.\u00a0 Interesting outsider, but untested.\u00a0 Keep an eye on this closer by Coronado’s\u00a0Quest.\u00a0<\/FONT><\/LI><\/UL>
