The field is getting ready to close on a contentious looking group of three year olds who will compete over a mile on the heavy turf at the Sport of Kings Track.
ML Favorite
#4 Mark Twain
The most experienced horse in this race returns to the mile trip here and is coming of a lifetime high 100 SR over 6 furlongs. I can't help but believe he is better suited to the slightly shorter trip but the fans seems to think that speed may hold this time as your short priced 6/5 favorite.
Threats
#6 Sussex Miller
The sidley stud barn has been hot lately and they will be looking to pick off a solid field here when this Danehill filly returns to the track after winning her last at this distance on February 17th. She may not quite have the speed figures to compete with this group but we will see, expect her explosive turn of foot late.
#2 Ms Clean
Precious Stable brings this filly by Pure Prize to the qualifiers after placing 4th, only 5 lengths back in the last effort. She has shown the ability to run 1:51 which will put her right there at the wire. She should be fresh coming in for only her second race of the month and could be a factor, if she gets the setup, with her deep closing style.
#3 Chypmunk Dinner
The other horse from Anfield Road, this gelding out of Danzig has been ultra tough in his last 5 efforts, winning 3 of them and losing the other two by a combined 1.25 lengths. His owner keeps him on the turf after a solid second last out on February 4th.
# 1 Knivsbjerg
This gelding looks to carry the flag for Anfield Road and continue his three race wining streak. The horse could only manage to get to the winners circle three times as a juvenile but has clearly started hitting his best stride after being gelded heading in the breeders cup which he won by two lengths. He will be looking for a stalking trip.
