Purse $150.000 (plus up to $22.50 for NJ-breds) For Three Year Olds And Upward.

1 If This Is It Martyparty Castillo I

A progressive three-year-old he has built a great record of five wins from eight runs and has looked pretty impressive in winning his last three albeit in lower grade. The three’s will be starting to catch up the older horses so this will be an interesting race to watch and after he beat the older horses at AQU last time. The weight concession compared to his race and work times say he can win but that may only happen if the code says he can.

2 Mob Ties Onlineracingclub.com Davis D

The seven-year-old has won ten races and took a nice race at SA over this trip at the start of the year giving him every chance in a race like this. He is consistent and stakes proven and seniority can be a telling thing in these types of races.

3 Outcrosss Threshold Jara F

Another seven-year-old, he has been up and down over the past few years but at his best could run into a place.

4 Warrior Time D J C Racing Stables Bravo J

The four-year-old is an OK sort and seems to be going pretty well this year. If this was a stronger race, I wouldn’t be giving him much chance, but he will be finishing strongly and may have found a decent race he can win.

5 Great Changes Luz International Camacho Sa

Switched to turf last time and looked much improved in making all to win an allowance at LS. Lightly raced, I feel he is much better than his form so far and if there is an older horse that can beat the three-year-olds it is this one. His works maybe the best in the race here and like the others his form may not be top notch, but he may be the most progressive and unexposed.

SUMMARY

Great Changes looks to be the main danger to If This Is It and may get the nod, but this is not a strong field, and all of these have claims.
