<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>A short but classy field of two year old fillies will go postward in Ostend&#8217;s feature this Friday Morning.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the field from the hedge outward.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Breaking from the inside gate is the late running<STRONG> Sticky Diamond<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The chestnut daughter of Diamond and Memo To Self dropped from the clouds to score at 16-1 last time out in an Ascot maiden special event.\u00a0 She has improved in each of her four lifetime starts and has\u00a0yet to miss the board.\u00a0 Solid threat in an evenly matched field.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>In stark contrast to the stretch charging pole sitter is the free running\u00a0Fu Peg filly, <STRONG>La Gomera<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Bagur&#8217;s homebred can flat out fly from the gate and has made two of her three starts gate-to-wire victories.\u00a0 Her only stakes run resulted in an unplaced finish behind the sensational Celestial Reef.\u00a0 If she gets a lonely lead on Friday, she may\u00a0prove very hard to catch.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Next up is Elesto&#8217;s <STRONG>Hallowed Turf<\/STRONG>(GB).\u00a0 The striking gray won a Tassie stake two back and just failed to last\u00a0while favored in an Irish added money event last time out.\u00a0 She loves running in front as much as La Gomera so the pace\u00a0should be light and lively.\u00a0 Hallowed Turf will have the services of ace jockette Amanda Smith and that will be a big plus.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Favored<STRONG> Irish Prayer<\/STRONG>(IRE) proudly carries the Pazstables banner into battle from post four.\u00a0 The big daughter of Noverre(IRE) and the Desert King(IRE) matron Global Girl(IRE) comes off a smashing victory in\u00a0Portugal&#8217;s Phar In The Saddle Stake.\u00a0 In that test Irish Prayer(IRE) headed immediately to the front and was never seriously threatened while heavily favored.\u00a0 She showed the ability to rate in her first two starts and I feel she found herself on the point last out simply because she was so much the best.\u00a0 No surprise to see her come off the pace and repeat.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Rounding out our small but classy field is the German bred longshot, <STRONG>Ninja Girl<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Despite being the outsider, Ninja Girl shows enough promise to potentially outrun her 7-1\u00a0odds.\u00a0 She was a sharp winner in Italy three back at 22-1 and subsequently fell only a length shy at 17-1 in a French allowance.\u00a0 In her last try, an Italian stake,\u00a0the daughter of Samum(GER)\u00a0had trouble getting hold of the track.\u00a0 Upset chance in here.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>All five fillies appear to be in with a chance here.\u00a0 Should be a fun race to watch!<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Promising Pazstables Filly Seeks Second
