1 Incredible Lilah Night Rider Stables Beschizza A 122 —
Fifth in the Gazelle and fourth in the Eight Belles, we have come to expect that sort of quality in these claiming Championship races. An easy win at BTP may have put her back on track after some solid stakes efforts and maybe that flick of the gaming buttons last time may have revealed something that she was looking for. If she holds the lead and the rail, she could be a big chance; if she reverts back to being a deep closer, she will need luck from this gate.
2 Call Me A Lady Greyhound Landeros C 122 —
I liked her closing efforts over shorter trips, and if she likes this first go at the mile, she may be a decent chance. Bought for $150.000 she has yet to repay much of that price, but she has her chance from a nice draw here.
3 Midnight Coffi The Sidley Stud Bacon T W 124 —
A look at this field tells you that the trainer is serious about winning this race, but I am not sure this five-year-old is the best in the yard. She looked to be improving when taking a couple of races over the Summer, but her last two have backed that up/
4 Unlimited Talent The Sidley Stud Castillo I 124 —
It’s difficult to work out her best trip on her efforts to date, but she has run a couple of good races in a fairly light career, and I think this mile may end up being her best. Her form isn’t overly convincing, but I liked her last effort, and she certainly has an each way chance.
5 Candoble The Sidley Stud Concepcion A 124 —
Out of the stable trio, I may have to settle on this one despite all her recent form being over sprint trips. Sometimes HRP can make a router run fast over shorter trips but prove too one-paced at the end, giving the impression they haven’t stayed the trip, whereas the fact is that they wanted further, not shorter. I THINK that is the case with this one, as her mile works certainly seem to scream, she needs longer, even if her form does not.
6 So Royal Mb Stables Ortiz J L 124 —
Claimed for $15.000 by a trainer who has the cream of HRP’s horses, you have to think they had a race like this in mind, and the six-year-old has certainly shown enough to be a big chance. Likely to settle in mid-pack, she will need some luck in running but has shown in works and on the track that she is good enough if things work out.
7 Proud People Alydar Stables Corrales G 124 —
I do like a lightly raced four-year-old and with only three starts and two wins, you don’t get much more lightly raced than this one. She was very impressive over a mile and a bit in winning her maiden, but came right back to five and a half to win her last race. I like this four-year-old a lot, and whilst she will need to carry on improving, she seems the type that can.
8 Inginuity Mb Stables Ortiz I Jr 124 —
Beaten a length in the grade one Ballerina and again in the Princess Rooney last time, she certainly comes here with standout form for a race like this. Her works may be a tick off some of these, but her form is superior, and that certainly seems to count for much more these days.
9 Blue Orchid Asgar Cedillo A 124 —
A solid four-year-old that very nearly won the Tranquility Lake two back, she certainly has every chance despite a nasty draw. I am not sure where she ends up in running form here, and that is my main worry, but if she can get in around mid-pack, she certainly has the form to run a big race.
SUMMARY
When you see a horse from Mb Stables with the best form, you would be a fool to pick anything else. So, it is Inginuity for me for the win, but I will be keeping an eye on Proud People.
