Welcome to the third running of The Diana Trail<\/I> here in Germany.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A year ago we watched Ketaring charge from eight lengths back to crush the field with a three length win, in her first ever graded score.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She parlayed that win into a monster summer that culminated with a Breeders Bowl win later in the year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Could one of our four talented fillies use this year\u2019s race as a similar springboard?\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Let\u2019s meet our field!<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Graded placed on the dirt as a three year old, Grandmaster Flash has yet to hit the board in two previous turf tries.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should have enough to add another graded place to her resume, but will need big improvement to score first graded win even in this short field.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>

English Rock will also be making her first graded try, but lacks the flashy speed figures of Roseberry.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Also successful in the allowance ranks, she has mainly competed in short fields of four horses of late.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lowest top speeds in the race, but could surprise.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Expect Grandmaster Flash to take the early lead with English Rock in tow.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I expect Muy Duro & Roseberry to overtake both at the beginning of the stretch and turning it into a two horse duel with Muy Duro pulling away for the win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I also like English Rock to beat out Grandmaster Flash for third \u2026 so I will be betting $100 on the 1, 3, 4 trifecta. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
