Today we see a contentious field of 6 prepared to go the mile over soft turf. The field of six all appears to have a legitimate chance at picking up a piece of this purse with the exception of the unknown Bladerunner.
ML Favorite
#6 Bonsun
This filly out of Monsun is looking to return to her best form that she found over this condition and distance back on January 27th. She seems to need some pace to close into in order to be successful and it appears that she will get it from the heavily raced Captain Obvious. I would think that a repeat of her previous maiden form and a time of 1:51 would be good enough to find her in the winners circle yet again. This is her third race this month which is taxing for any horse so we will see what kind of toughness she will display in this spot.

#3 Vital Discussion
This maiden filly by Singspiel looks to be a closing type that will be well positioned here at the back of the field with Bonsun. West Coast Racing brings her in after a public work clocked at just under 1:54 so she will have to improve a bit off that which she has shown the ability to do with her debut race coming in at a time of 1:52.5. I don't know if she's good enough to win this short of a race, this early in her career but she shouldn't be too far off at the end.
#1 School Holidays
I like this Halo colt a lot and he looks very well placed here at the mile distance. He seems to have the ability to rate a bit and should get first jump on the deep closers. He beat Bonsun in his most recent victory in a game effort on February 16th, 2015. This should be an excellent rematch between the two as there is not much to separate them.
#2 Captain Obvious
Ewing Farms enters this Singspiel colt into his 6th lifetime race, a heavy race load, only second to Anfield Road's The New One who will be seeing the track for the 7th time as a two year old. Captain Obvious has yet to win in a qualifier but has won his two most recent efforts outside of that. He appears to be a versatile front running sort but may just not have the class to win at the top level.
