PP 1) Corinthian Chimes(KY)<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Sired by Corinthian, Trained by teebone10.\u00a0\u00a0Corithian Chimes makes her third career start in this race.\u00a0\u00a0After a well run victory in the mud in her maiden debut, she followed up with a mildly disastrous run in the Buckeye Debutante last outing, trailing the leaders home by ten and a half lengths in an eleventh place finish.\u00a0\u00a0On the heels of that, her connections switch her to turf for the first time, to attempt to regain some of the poise she had in her first outing.\u00a0\u00a0Her nice performance in the mud in her first shows that she may take well to the softer surface, though her bredding does not really have the data to approve or deny that guess.\u00a0\u00a0She showed an exceelent close in her first run, which would hold her in good stead in this front loaded field, but she’s going to need to muster alot more speed than she’s shown so far to be a serious threat here.<\/p>\n
PP 2) What Goes Up(SAF)<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Sired by Newton(IRE), Trained by poowillck.\u00a0\u00a0What Goes Up makes her sixth trip to the gate here, having never finished worse than second in her first five, with three wins and two places.\u00a0\u00a0Her last run was an open allowance at this distance on dirt in Alabama, where she gave up a length and a quarter lead late, before settling for second by a length.\u00a0\u00a0This will be her first try on turf.\u00a0\u00a0She has plenty of turf upside in her pedigree and if it runs true, she shouldn’t have any problems on the grass.\u00a0\u00a0She’s a front runner and she’s proven she can more than hold her own in an early speed battle, and that is quite likely what she will run into here.\u00a0\u00a0If her speeds translate over to the softer turf surface, she should be the one to beat here.<\/p>\n
PP 3) Dootsin Street(KY)<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Sired by Street Sense, Trained by cut2004.\u00a0\u00a0Dootsin Street is the most experienced filly in the field, relatively speaking, making her seventh career start.\u00a0\u00a0She comes into this one riding a four race winning streak, including her first stakes win in her last outing.\u00a0\u00a0That race was a dirt stakes at this distance where she dominated a short field of four by just over two lengths.\u00a0\u00a0This will be her first run on the grass.\u00a0\u00a0Her lineage, while not the perfect turf lines has plenty of turf upside scattered throughout.\u00a0\u00a0If her performance in the mud is any indication, the softer surface here shouldn’t be a problem for her.\u00a0\u00a0She has shown a very good short close in her previous races, only getting into trouble when she tries to challenge the early speed.\u00a0\u00a0She likely to find herself treading a fine line in this one contending with some very good early speed.\u00a0\u00a0She could find herself out a bit deeper than she is used to at the half, which may challenge her close.\u00a0\u00a0The biggest question here, I think, is how she will respond to turf.<\/p>\n
PP 4) Taking Your Time(AUS)<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Sired by Fastnet Rock(AUS), Trained by corza2.\u00a0\u00a0Taking Your Time jumps from straight into stakes competition after convincing winning her maiden debut.\u00a0\u00a0That race was an MSW at this distance on turf, on a tough Kentucky track, where she took a packed field wire to wire to win by a length.\u00a0\u00a0She is only one of two entries in this field that has turf experience and she showed good speed on the surface in her first outing.\u00a0\u00a0She came out of the gate like a rocket in her last start, piling up a big lead early that she carried well into the stretch.\u00a0\u00a0With a lead of over three lengths going into the stretch, we may not have seen everything this filly has to offer in her first start.\u00a0\u00a0Turf experience is a big plus, too, as we already know that this filly can handle turf well.\u00a0\u00a0Think she’s worth a second look from the handicappers here at her 7\/2 odds.<\/p>\n
PP 5) Magic Hands(KY)<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Sired by Majestic Warrior, Trained by rubiano00.\u00a0\u00a0Magic Hands steps to the track for her forth career start in this race.\u00a0\u00a0She won in her maiden debut, and while she has shown some decent speed in her next two starts, she didn’t show any late jump, finishing three or more lengths out in those two starts.\u00a0\u00a0This will be her first start on turf, perhaps an attempt by her connections to shake things up a little bit.\u00a0\u00a0She came out of the gate fast in her first two starts, fighting a pitched battle most of the way throughout.\u00a0\u00a0She was able to hold on in the slightly shorter race, but gave up a lead late in her start at this distance.\u00a0\u00a0She opted for a bit slower start in her last, but showed little inclination to close much ground in the second half.\u00a0\u00a0Nothing in her pedigree really screams “turf runner”, and looking at the field here, if she tries to challenge the front runners here, she’s likely to come out on the short end.<\/p>\n
PP 6) Rainbow Serpent(IRE)<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Sired by Montjeu(IRE), Trained by wistful0.\u00a0\u00a0Rainbow Serpent will make sixth career start here, nad her second at stakes level.\u00a0\u00a0She made her first try in a mile stakes on turf last outing where she trailed the leader home by twelve lengths.\u00a0\u00a0Four of five starts have been on turf, and she has displayed a comfort level with the surface.\u00a0\u00a0She’s been doing her running from the mid pack, but has been at her best when she can stay within a length or so of the leaders when they hit the half post.\u00a0\u00a0If she gets out much deeper than that, her close has been spotty, and she has had trouble bringing it back in the second half.\u00a0\u00a0With the good early speed here, compared with the speed she’s shown, she could be quite a bit farther out then a length at the half in this time.\u00a0\u00a0Unless she’s hiding some breakout speed we haven’t seen, I can’t really recommend her here.<\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
