Welcome all to Berkshire for the 10th running of the G2 Why You Buggin Stakes on turf at 5f. This is the third year it has been elevated to $250,000 in prize money and we therefore have a healthy field of 11 starters. Before we begin, I really must admit that I have two runners in this race. Due Dilligence and Miss Timoshenko. The first one is in the race for no reason what so ever and with the latter, I hold massive hopes for. There are some very good chances in the race with all attempting to knock off the 2nd ranked filly in the division Miss Timoshenko. Lets take an in depth look and re-jig the odds accordingly\u2026. <\/p>\n
PP#1 \u2013 Fast Movin Train (DANSILI (GB) x KINGMAMBO x STORM CAT) 7\/1
Record \u2013 2\/1-0-0 for $19,080\t\tRanking \u2013 unranked
Breeding \u2013 Awesome breeding says she will love the turf but could need it further
Jockey \u2013 Rideout \u2013 5% winning, 28% ITM this year
Form \u2013 Romped home LTO when taking on a full field. Was belted in first run when yielding turf offered some excuses. 70 SP with a \u00bc length win doesn\u2019t fill me with enormous confidence and looks as if she may have to post at least an 80 SP to run ITM. She comes into this off a seven-week break which is great.
Lado says \u2013 cannot see her troubling the top 5 runners here today. Well rested, great breeding but just looks as if she will be outgunned.
Form line odds: 15\/1<\/p>\n
PP#2 \u2013 Naevia (BIG BROWN x SEEKING THE GOLD x MR. PROSPECTOR) 5\/1
Record \u2013 1\/1-0-0 for $27,120\t\tRanking \u2013 unranked
Breeding \u2013 Screaming dirt, wins on turf\u2026\u2026 Game dam a freak turf sprinter with 20 wins including 7 ungraded stakes wins and 15 ungraded ITM.
Jockey \u2013 Donahue \u2013 18.8% winning, 50% ITM this year
Form \u2013 Six-week break is great and won maiden by a length against eleven others. Probably a eager trying to leap frog her mums career a bit early as this is one hell of a step up and its hard to say if she can make it.
Lado says \u2013 Travelling from East Kentucky to England is an ask and with just a maiden 70 SP under her belt I prefer others. Jockey a bonus\u2026
Form line odds: 12\/1<\/p>\n
PP#3 \u2013 World Theory (DANSILI (GB) x GALILEO (IRE) x SEEKING THE GOLD) 8\/1
Record \u2013 2\/1-0-1 for $31,864\t\tRanking \u2013 unranked
Breeding \u2013 Yes yes yes \u2013 bred to do well \u2013 that\u2019s for sure. This may be a little short. He-mare was a champ with a G2 win, eight graded ITM runs and eight ungraded stakes wins.
Jockey \u2013 Milhouse \u2013 10.3% winning, 31% ITM this year
Form \u2013 A nine week break means she is certainly fresh. Won her maiden against the colts but again, this is a big jump. 67 SP needs to be improved to above 80 to nab this G2 win.
Lado says \u2013 Travelling from Queensland to England is also an ask. Maiden winner with just 67 will struggle in my book.
Form line odds: 22\/1<\/p>\n
PP#4 \u2013 Royal Injury (ROYAL ACADEMY x SMART STRIKE x END SWEEP) 21\/1
Record \u2013 3\/2-0-1 for $66,720\t\tRanking \u2013 11th
Breeding \u2013 Like it but certainly not a blue blood. Will also like it further.
Jockey \u2013 Day \u2013 21.2% winning, 55% ITM this year \u2013 great bonus
Form \u2013 LTO nailed first ungraded stakes win by over a length. Hardly put a hoof wrong since winning maiden with ungraded 3rd place before last start. Seven week break is great. SP\u2019s have been very low.
Lado says \u2013 Another one travelling, this filly from Arkansas to England. Stakes winner looking to continue dream run but looks to be a nightmare if she cannot step up.
Form line odds: 18\/1<\/p>\n
PP#5 \u2013 Batilia (ARCH x SEEKING THE GOLD x UNBRIDLED’S SONG) 6\/1
Record \u2013 2\/2-0-0 for $18,240\t\tRanking \u2013 unranked
Breeding \u2013 Probably as expected \u2013 good on dirt, turf \u2013 we will find out! Game dam had three dirt route wins on dirt and probably where she belongs.
Jockey \u2013 Antoni \u2013 12.8% winning, 38% ITM this year.
Form \u2013 Certainly has not put a foot wrong\u2026. on dirt. Won maiden and nailed the field when winning ungraded stakes five weeks back. Hard to really tell what impact she will make but proved she is stakes class filly.
Lado says \u2013 Utah to England on a five week break is adequate. If she runs as well on turf as she does on dirt \u2013 look out!!!
Form line odds: 7\/1<\/p>\n
PP#6 \u2013 Acqua Di Gio (GIO PONTI x CRYPTOCLEARANCE x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY (IRE)) 17\/1
Record \u2013 2\/2-0-0 for $48,900\t\tRanking \u2013 64th
Breeding \u2013 Game dam a dirt stakes winner. Interesting breeding.
Jockey \u2013 Williams \u2013 18.4% winning, 48% ITM this year.
Form \u2013 Perfect in two and trainer has made a great decision to put her up in G2 company. Progressed from first start maiden winner to easy allowance win LTO when brained the field over two lengths drawing away from them. Certainly looks a class filly and will increase SP considerably this week. Trainer is very solid and six week break will do her good.
Lado says \u2013 Australia to England not flash but six week spell, ready to improve and easy run LTO. Look for her to attempt to wire this field.
Form line odds: 5\/1<\/p>\n
PP#7 \u2013 Due Dilligence (MONSUN(GER) x GHOSTZAPPER x SECRETARIAT) 9\/1
Record \u2013 3\/1-2-0 for $49,220\t\tRanking \u2013 190th
Breeding \u2013 Absolute blue blood but will turf suit her? He-mare a dirt stakes winner.
Jockey \u2013 Wesselman \u2013 7.5% winning, 31% ITM this year \u2013 not great.
Form \u2013 Barnstorming run LTO when attempting to wire field in ungraded dirt stakes making it two 2nd placings from two ungraded stakes races after winning maiden. From Utah to England is certainly not ideal and would have liked at least a six week break.
Lado says \u2013 Much the same as Batilia, if she can reproduce form on turf that she showed on dirt, she could go close. Truth be told, if she had won LTO she would not be here.
Form line odds: 8\/1<\/p>\n
PP#8 \u2013 Elite Rock (ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (IRE) x STORM CAT x DEPUTY MINISTER) 7\/2
Record \u2013 1\/1-0-0 for $29,220\t\tRanking \u2013 unranked
Breeding \u2013 Very well bred but game dam fairly unsuccessful. Could also be good on dirt.
Jockey \u2013 Adler \u2013 5.1% winning, 33% ITM this year \u2013 not great.
Form \u2013 Maiden winning looking to jump up to G2 winner in a single bound. Great maiden run saw her post a 73 SP, winning by over two lengths. She looks very handy but may get into a fight for the lead early.
Lado says \u2013 Great first up win and apart from the massive step up in class, she looks the goods. Well bred, will post 80+ SP and will go close.
Form line odds: 5\/1<\/p>\n
PP#9 \u2013 Sloss Furnaces (RIP VAN WINKLE x THEATRICAL(IRE) x FUSAICHI PEGASUS) 18\/1
Record \u2013 1\/1-0-0 for $21,840\t\tRanking \u2013 unranked
Breeding \u2013 Moderate. Probably will perform up to expectations.
Jockey \u2013 Thomas 11.9% winning, 33% ITM this year.
Form \u2013 Yet another maiden winner looking to jump up to G2 winner in a single bound. Not the most exciting maiden win around but one win from one start is good in anybodies book. 67 SP and winning margin just under a length not too appealing and must improve to get anywhere near them. Three week break not enough and could put her in line for an injury at this level.
Lado says \u2013 Not much of a shot. Odds reflect chances and off three week break travelling from Florida to England she will not be in the top half.
Form line odds: 30\/1<\/p>\n
PP#10 \u2013 The Fijian (ZABEEL(NZ) x ELUSIVE QUALITY x PIVOTAL(GB)) 5\/1
Record \u2013 2\/2-0-0 for $99,660\t\tRanking \u2013 36th
Breeding \u2013 May take to turf. Game dam two time stakes winner on turf.
Jockey \u2013 DeGrella 14.2% winning, 34% ITM this year.
Form \u2013 G3 winner on dirt looking to impart her brilliance on turf. Would be one for the books if she can pull it off and with a SP of 79 LTO to win, she may just do it. Proven graded performer and coming off good five week spell.
Lado says \u2013 Just like Batilia and my filly Due Dilligence, if any of them can reproduce their efforts on dirt, they could go close to winning. This filly certainly has the ability and it is just a matter of surface preference.
Form line odds: 4\/1<\/p>\n
PP#11 \u2013 Miss Timoshenko (NORTH LIGHT (IRE) x DANEHILL x SECRETARIAT) 6\/1
Record \u2013 3\/3-0-0 for $97,500\t\tRanking \u2013 2nd
Breeding \u2013 Was always intended to run the turf but I bred her for 10 \u2013 12f.
Jockey \u2013 Harzheim 27.1% winning, 59% ITM this year \u2013 big time chance.
Form \u2013 Two time ungraded stakes winner and 2nd ranked filly in division. I have doubts about her form with just the 71 SP LTO but did enough to win. Was never under pressure and won by a length. Late swooping style may not suit the distance but there are a number of potential pace setters in this that may work for her. She was meant to have rested after her second win but couldn\u2019t resist a shot at stakes level again LTO. Five week break, and set for this race from day one, must reproduce for a forth time \u2013 hopefully avoiding a bounce.
Lado says \u2013 Certainly a top chance. Proven winner, no travel problems, five week break and was on 0.95% riding instructions LTO. Top 3.
Form line odds: 3\/1<\/p>\n
Lado\u2019s tips:<\/p>\n
Top chances in no specific order:<\/p>\n
Miss Timoshenko, The Fijian, Elite Rock & Acqua Di Gio. <\/p>\n
Batilia and Due Dilligence could figure in finish if they take to the turf.<\/p>\n
So there we have it folks. Some may say Lado is bias. Lado tends to agree but when the gates open, I think one of my top four picks will win\u2026..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
