Is not looking good here today after some dismal form.\u00a0 Has run well at Stakes level and did get a third place late last year in a G2 but was fading in that race and I would say is just at that level where has not performed recently at Graded level.\u00a0 Certainly way off the pace last time out and will need to do much much better than that to figure here. Classy 5yo horse here and still able to run the big races.\u00a0 Will be enjoying his trainer’s decision to run him over the 2 miler today as has been finishing strongly and wanting that extra distance to finish off the race.\u00a0 Good odds and a real big chance to take this out.\u00a0 Definitely a winner if he gets his run right.<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bit out of touch of late both on turf, at this level and over this distance and ran out on dirt last time just to see what he could do.\u00a0 Debut run on dirt and basically the result was don’t run me on this crap again! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Back to turf, needs to hold on to run this one out. Biggest question is can he run it out. I think not. A genuine two miler this runner, he has run some pretty big speeds over this distance of which the best one stands out in a G2 last year with a speed of 110 for the win.\u00a0 Certainly coming back into some form in his last 3 races but just failing to get the wins although did pick up 2 third place finishes.\u00a0 Will need to start his run as early as possible as he takes a while to wind up.\u00a0 Real chance here. Won a G2 race 3 runs back on a yielding turf track with an impressive 109 speed over 14 furlongs.\u00a0 Just doesn’t look in that type of form here today though with not a lot to show for his last 2 races although did close rapidly last time out in an allowance to grab 3rd place. Will need to pick up some speed to finish this one out.\u00a0 Distance shouldn’t be a worry though. Long shot of the race really doesn’t belong at this level after his only recent result a win in an allowance last time out.\u00a0 Did get a win at G2 and a 2nd place finish in a G1 but that was about a year ago now and nothing really to show since then.\u00a0 Not a whole lot to warrant running here that’s for sure. Be lucky if he doesn’t come in last.\u00a0 That said the distance should be ok – just doesn’t have the speed or class to match it here. At first glance is experienced enough in Graded company and definitely has had a few runs at G1 level now.\u00a0 Reasonable speed but does seem to lack that strong finish which has seen him fade at the end of just about every one of his recent races.\u00a0 6yo – getting on in age.\u00a0 Won’t run last but just can’t see him finishing strongly enough for a place. Consistent in speed all above the 100 plus mark except for his last run which still resulted in a win at allowance level.\u00a0 Likes the distance and in fact should go well here over 2 miles.\u00a0 Needs to finish well and strong to get the win. Bit up and down in form, needs a jockey who will take him to the edge, drop him a little and then give him his head to run it out for a win.\u00a0 Good odds really considering he did win last time out over 16 furlongs in a G2.\u00a0 well worth backing and should be there challenging for a place if not better. Might have a voodoo smile but needs a consistent smile to be honest.\u00a0 Ran 2 really good races at G3 and G1 level for a win and 2nd place finish all over this distance.\u00a0 Excellent speed in the G1 as well with a 113 across the course.\u00a0 His last race was a shocker though failing badly after missing the jump and then the whole race too.\u00a0 Recently come up from allowance is definitely one which will either surprise with a win or come in last. Going to need nards, luck and maybe even a lightning bolt to pull this one off.\u00a0 Although is coming in with some level of confidence with a win at allowance level over this distance, this is way way harder than that.\u00a0 Doesn’t look like a winner here today I fear. Very close to getting twelve in this race until along came the last entrant which made it 12 plus 1 which in my book equals thirteen.\u00a0 Which for some is an unlucky number and for this one is definitely unlucky.\u00a0 Can’t see him wiping this field away and is in some danger of being wiped himself if he doesn’t get a good run, some early speed and a strong finish.\u00a0 Hard to see winning. Looks good at Allowance level, in fact looks very good there.\u00a0 Even at Stakes looks good but in Graded company to date was up early but then fades bigtime towards the end of the race.\u00a0 I think this class is too much for him and at his tender age of 7 maybe should be thinking about retiring in the grassy field some time soon.\u00a0 Still competitive at allowance or stakes but this will be too hard.\u00a0 Ackland Cup<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"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],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8957","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\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
