Perhaps there is nothing more exciting than a two year old stakes race: a smart maiden winner early in his career suddenly gets a chance to showcase his talent against similarly impressive maiden winners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A maiden looks to graduate in style.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A stakes winner looks to build on his pervious success.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P>

4: 2-0-1 record for this High Yield colt includes a stakes win in his last outing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>97th<\/SUP> in the division, he has a running style that should be well-suited to speed-crazed two year old races and has a big an upside potential as any horse in this field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I like the 6\/1 odds and he should appreciate the extra 1 \u00bd furlongs that he\u2019ll see today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Strong chance to make it two in a row today.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Fusaichi Pegasus colt is 5: 2-0-1, but his last race was an overpowering front-running allowance win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That said, he took a huge step forward in his last one and looks like he\u2019s set up for a big bounce today; he\u2019d need to run back to the 85 speed figure to compete here, and he\u2019s more likely to run in the neighborhood of a 78-82.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Pass.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

2: 1-0-0 for a Peace Rules colt, and rarely do you see an 87 speed figure first time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Predictably, he regressed off of that effort, but an 82 speed figure is nothing to sneeze at and he was closing well through the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he repeats that performance, he\u2019ll be running on well through the lane but may run out of ground.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One of the more exciting horses moving forward from this race, but seems to be in deep here on account of a lack of distance.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

5: 1-2-1 for a Waquoit colt; he\u2019s the underdog of the field, and needed 5 starts to break his maiden.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He hasn\u2019t topped the 80 mark for a speed number, which is generally a solid diving line between stakes caliber 2yos and solid allowance types, but he will appreciate the 7 furlongs; its long enough for him to overhaul the early leader, but if he\u2019s lucky, not enough time for the closers to run him over.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>An outsider, but an outsider with a live chance.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Morning line favorite is a 4: 2-2-0 Kingmambo colt who shows a 1st<\/SUP> and a 2nd<\/SUP> in his last two races, both in stakes company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Steady improvement through all four of his career starts, and his stalking style should suit him well over 7 furlongs, even though he\u2019s been running a little bit longer than that as of late.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As long as those trips over a route of ground haven\u2019t taken the edge off of him and left him vulnerable to speedier types, he\u2019s a likely winner with a 21% jock on top.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Be wary, however; he\u2019s not a sure thing and is probably a poor bet at short odds.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Don\u2019t quite see the logic here between 7\/2 odds on this one and 5\/1 on Peace Ally, other than the fact that this one\u2019s Rahy x Forty Niner pedigree seems to have a slight edge.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Broke his maiden last time out in Florida,\u00a0 <\/SPAN>running his record to 2: 1-1-0, and should appreciate an extra furlong today, but he has yet to prove that he\u2019s capable of the big performance that some of the others have already turned in today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s got a chance, no doubt, but needs to improve off of the 83 he ran last time out to win.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Another one whose odds defy rational interpretation: of course its impossible to knock the pedigree (Sadler\u2019s Wells\/Mill Reef) except to say that it leaves him infinitely more likely to find success on the lawn, but it is possible to question what a maiden is doing in stakes competition.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Would much prefer to see him win one before testing these sorts, and at 7\/2, I can\u2019t say he makes any sense as a pick.<\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>
