1 ROCKET (Thunder Lodge) 2c By Mars- Sing A Song (16:9-3-4): Superstar 2yo who showed immeasurable class and determination to win ½ len 1st (122) Life On Mars, Bonjansky 1400m $2.80fav. Newmarket Dewhurst Stakes firm trk October 14, again found dirt above him 3-¼ len 3rd (122) Big N’ Tough, Ditko 1700m $4.50 Churchill Downs Breeders Cup Juvenile fast trk November 6. Is a legend of the game, gets back to turf and should bounce back today.

2 KETONURIA (Tree Top Farms) 2c By The River Wild- Victory Vein (6:1-3-1): Top class 2yo just a tad behind the A-Graders, showed grit when a close 2- ¾ len 2nd (117) Suspended Sentence, Nite Patrol 1600m $3.00 Longchamp Grand Criterium firm trk October 4, found the top two too good 10- ¾ len 3rd (122) Life On Mars, Daredevil 1400m $8.00 Eagle Farm Sires Produce Stakes firm trk October 31. Provided he backs up he will be among the main hopes.

3 SUSPENDED SENTENCE (Smokey’s Stable) 2c By Dawn Patrol- Wandering Aimlessly (6:2-0-0): Consistent 2yo who ran a honest race when a 10- ½ len 6th (122) Rocket 1600m $26.00 Royal Randwick Champagne Stakes firm trk September 12, surprised some people 2- ¾ len 1st (117) Ketonuria, Nite Patrol 1600m $10.00 Longchamp Grand Criterium firm trk October 4. Is living up to his promise. Should go close.

4 WHIPLASH (Hutton’s Horse Haven) 2c By Park Lane- Lashed (12:1-0-1): Honest 2yo who wasn’t far away 7- ½ 4th (115) Rocket 1700m $6.00 Keeneland Breeders Futurity fast trk October 3, ran well at huge odds 20- ½ len 7th (122) Big N’ Tough 1700m $41.00 Churchill Downs Breeders Cup Juvenile fast trk November 6. Is racing well but he’d have to improve a fair bit to beat the likes of Rocket & Life On Mars but is promising.

5 BOLD BARD (Watch This Space) 2c By Bold N’ Free- Bardego (7:1-1-2): Staying type who tried hard 12-½ len 5th (117) Rocket 1700m $7.00 Keeneland Breeders Futurity fast trk October 3, beat most home in a mammoth field 6- ½ len 4th (117) Regal Lad, Grimau, Bando alle Chance 1900m $4.00 Shenandoah Downs Allowance fast trk November 13. I doubt seeing him back up to win a Group 1 two days after his last race.

6 NEW MOON ON MONDAY (Bally Doyle) 2c By Lonhro- Moon Dragon (4:1-1-1): Emerging 2yo who has breeding Australians would die for. Won his maiden head 1st (115) Dynamite, Imperial Champ 1800m $4.00fav. Shenandoah Downs Maiden hard trk October 2, then handled the step up to Group 1 level when a 3 len 2nd (117) Garson De Garcia, Brusco Risveglio 1600m $6.00 Epsom Racing Post Trophy firm trk October 21. Is racing very well. Good chance.

7 CROWLEY MAGIC (JD Kayll Race Club) 2c By Medaglia D’oro- Sunday Rose (5:0-0-1): Promising 2yo who looks a nice miler in the making. Disappointing but I think he didn’t handle the back up when a 36 len 6th (122) Big N’ Tough 1700m $18.00 Turfway Park KY Cup Juvenile fast trk September 25. Then ran a good race when 4- ¾ len 4th (115) Garson De Garcia, New Moon On Monday, Brusco Risveglio 1600m $6.00 Epsom Racing Post Trophy firm trk October 21. Looks like a nice roughie with many runners having quick back-ups. Knockout hope.

8 LIFE ON MARS (FDL Lodge) 2f By Mars- Scandalous (12:6-4-2): Newmarket Handicap winning superhorse who was only beaten by a champ when ½ len 2nd (119) Rocket, Bonjansky 1400m $3.00 Newmarket Dewhurst Stakes firm trk October 14, good win 6- ¼ len 1st (117) Daredevil, Ketonuria 1400m $2.80fav. Eagle Farm Sires Produce Stakes firm trk October 31. Is a good as horse. Should put her best hoof forward today.

This is a great race. I fancy 1-ROCKET because he is a champion and he should bounce back after his last run. 3- SUSPENDED SENTENCE is the fresh horse on the scene. 8-LIFE ON MARS is a geniune Group 1 performer, 6-NEW MOON ON MONDAY is stepping up to the plate every time he runs. 2-KETONURIA is consistent and is looking to add a Group 1 to his record here today. 7-CROWLEY MAGIC is very promising. 4-WHIPLASH will run his honest race. 5-BOLD BARD would have to be good if he backs up from a two day break.
