Strong Field of Eight in Shady Well Stakes

Shady Well Stakes – $150.000

WO – 6F – Dirt

For Fillies Two Years Old Foaled In ON

December 3, 2022

#1 Uncharted (Smokey Stover) Hit the board in all three starts. Broke her maiden in ON-bred company last out. Looks ready for the step up.

#2 Appreciate (Mo Mentum Farm) Broke her maiden last out at AQU after a less than impressive first start on turf. Could have a say here.

#3 So Classy (Asgar) This filly has loads of stakes experience, but has yet to get to the winner’s circle at that level. Did finish second in the $125.000 My Dear in July. Will be tough.

#4 My Figurine (Arindel) Just one start for this filly. Finished second in MSW company at TUP. Probably needs a little more experience to compete here.

#5 Balius (Threshold) Second in the $250.000 CA-bred Princess Elizabeth Stakes at 1 1/16 mile. Shortens up here. She broke her maiden at 6 ½ furlongs so she can sprint. Another one with a real shot.

#6 So Good (Asgar) Broke her maiden in April at SA. Has been running at high-level allowance and stakes level without much success since then. Will need to bring her A-game to win here.

#7 Stormy Storm (Sccj Stables) Tried to step up to stakes level last out in the Anoakia Stakes but could do no better than 4th. Still, overlooking this filly might be a mistake.

#8 [Rename1644] (Aer Stables) Broke her maiden in April. Couldn’t hit the board in either of her two starts since, including a 4th in the Matron (Grade 3). Seems a little outclassed here.

Picks: 3-1-7
