Race 10 - Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff (Grade 1) (Fillies And Mares)

Off time: 23:02 | Winning time: -

(1)

Paradise Woods³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Abel Cedillo| T: J Shirreffs| OR: 111| D

12/1

Has done all her winning at this venue including a Grade 1 as a juvenile. Got her head back in front here last time out but has proved vulnerable at the very top level in recent times.

Form: 531241

(2)

Ollie's Candy³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Joel Rosario| T: John Sadler| OR: 114| D

20/1

Has proved much effective on dirt than turf but a fair way behind Paradise Woods last time out and this is certainly tougher again.

Form: 22-7213

(3)

Street Band⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Sophie Doyle| T: J Jones| OR: 107| D

11/1

Gained a third Graded win at Parx last time out when gaining a first Grade 1 success. Still lightly raced and won with plenty in hand last time; each-way claims.

Form: 417131

(4)

Midnight Bisou³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Mike Smith| T: Steven Asmussen| OR: 121| D

10/11

Only third in this race last year when not seen to best effect but improving throughout this campaign. Has already proven herself at this level and she's the one to beat on all known form.

Form: 111111

(5)

Dunbar Road²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jose Ortiz| T: Chad Brown| OR: 107| D

11/2

Grade 1 winner at Saratoga in August but failed to build on that last time out behind Blue Prize, though looked a little unlucky that day. Should be on the premises but she looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 121113

(6)

Wow Cat³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Irad Ortiz Jr| T: Chad Brown| OR: 112| D

22/1

Grade 1 winner at Belmont last year and runner-up in this contest but has been running into Midnight Bisou without success this year and hard to see her reversing the form.

Form: 312-242

(7)

Secret Spice³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: John Velazquez| T: R Baltas| OR: 113| BF

14/1

Grade 1 winner here in March and running well in defeat subsequently but needs to improve on the form that saw her finish runner-up to Paradise Woods last time out when odds on favourite.

Form: 1-31222

(8)

La Force³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Drayden Dyke Van| T: P Gallagher| OR: 111| D

80/1

Course winner who produced a career best when winning a Grade 2 here last year but has proved vulnerable in less company to this since and well beaten behind three of these last time out.

Form: 8-21374

(9)

Serengeti Empress⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Flavien Prat| T: Thomas Amoss| OR: 104| D

12/1

Impressive when winning a Grade 1 at Churchill in May but only running to a similar level subsequently and will need more to play a part here.

Form: 171226

(10)

Mo See Cal²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Paco Lopez| T: Peter Miller| OR: 107| D

40/1

Got back on track with a win here last time out but that was at a much lower level to this and has it all to prove against these rivals from a tricky draw.

Form: 1-25421

(11)

Blue Prize²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Joe Bravo| T: I Correas| OR: 113| D

9/1

Came in to this race in fine form last year when not beaten far in fourth and produced her best effort for some time when landing a Grade 1 at Keeneland last time out. Each-way claims if she can defy this wide draw.

Form: 4-32311

Forecasts

Midnight Bisou (10/11), Dunbar Road (11/2), Blue Prize (9/1), Street Band (11/1), Serengeti Empress (12/1), Paradise Woods (12/1), Secret Spice (14/1), Ollie's Candy (20/1), Wow Cat (22/1), Mo See Cal (40/1), La Force (80/1)

It's hard to oppose MIDNIGHT BISOU given the run she's on and she rates as a better prospect than when finishing third in this last year. Street Band could be interesting from an each-way perspective given the way she won last time out. Wow Cat may not have managed to get the better of the selection in recent starts but she's been running well in defeat and has each-way claims.
