Laurel Park 16 September 2017
Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Won on her latest outing when 11-10fav at Timonium over 6f earlier this month, beating Stormy Mama. No reason why she shouldn't confirm that superiority.
She has won three times from 5f to 6f. Third of 7 behind Mettemarlamelva beaten at 13-1 on her latest outing at Timonium over 6f earlier this month. Fought hard but now has two lengths to make up on the reopposing winner.
She has won three times from 6f to 7f. A winner at 5-1 at Laurel Park over 6f on her latest outing in June, beating Brook's On Fire by 6l. A good way behind Miss Swisher before that, though.
She has won three times at 6f. Third of 6 behind Princess Tiznow beaten 2l at 2-1 on her latest outing at Timonium over 6f earlier this month. Consistent enough and she could reward each-way support.
She has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 5l behind Love You Back when fourth of 7 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Timonium over 6f last month. Likely to find several too strong for her.
She has won four times from 6f to 1m. Beaten by Mettemarlamelva when second of 7 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Timonium over 6f earlier this month. Stuck to her task well so keep her in mind.
She has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 9l behind Love You Back when sixth of 7 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Timonium over 6f last month. In fine fettle at this venue prior to that.
She has won three times from 6f to 1m. Third of 8 behind My Adeline beaten 2l at 9-2 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 7f earlier this month. Back at a more suitable level.

Mettemarlamelva accounted for Stormy Mama and Color Me Sexy at Timonium but may have to settle for a supporting role this time behind MISS SWISHER. Since beating Friesan Flyer over track and trip in June, the daughter of Trappe Shot has held her own in decent allowance races and can show her appreciation for having her sights lowered.
A winner at 1m. Beaten 1/2l by Edgy Redhead when second of 9 at 9-4fav on her latest outing at Penn National over 1m (firm) last month. Knocking on the door and it won't be long before she is let in again.
A winner at 5f. Beaten 3 1/2l by Stormy Princess when second of 8 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f in December last year. Faces a test of stamina on her comeback.
A winner at 1m. Beaten 1 1/4l by Ischia when second of 8 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. This demands more of her.
A winner at 1m, but that win was over two years ago. Finished behind Isotope when fourth of 8 at 17-10fav on her latest outing at Saratoga over 6f last month. Doesn't win as often as she should but she takes a drop in class.
A winner at 6f. Beaten 14l behind Quick Thinker at 16-1 when 9th of 11 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m (good) earlier this month. Needs to produce more.
A winner at 7f. Finished behind Nisha when fourth of 7 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Belmont Park over 6f earlier this month. Will appreciate the return to this distance.
A winner at 7f. Beaten 1l by High Rewards when second of 11 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Performing with credit in lesser company.
A winner at 4-1 at Laurel Park over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Nancy R. Worth a crack at this after that runaway success.
A winner at 1m, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 13l behind Keep Your Distance when fifth of 8 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Timonium over 6f earlier this month. Could squeeze into the frame.

MY GOLDEN ROSE was tapped for toe over an extended 6f at Belmont but, previous to that, she scored emphatically over this course and distance and is taken to bounce back. North Eight Street has been performing with some credit in New York, and Perfect Deal is worth some thought after such a dominant maiden win.
Half-sister to Wave Theory, won at 1m and 1m 1f. A winner at 17-5 at Monmouth Park over 5f (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Just Hattie. Did everything that was asked of her and the extra furlong will pose no problem.
A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Finished 10l behind Primo Extremo when fourth of 5 at 13-1 on her latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 6f last month. Expected to struggle in this exalted company.
Dam won at 6f. A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Pure Silver when seventh of 8 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga over 6f last month. That appeared to expose her limitations, although she can't be written off completely.
Half-sister to Okeemeister, won three times at 6f and 7f. A winner at 4f on the all-weather. Well beaten at 9-1 behind Dream It Is when last of 8 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 6f in July. Another who came up short in stakes company but still has time on her side.
Successful twice at 5f on the all-weather. Third of 6 behind Contrarity beaten 1 1/4l at 7-5fav on her latest outing at Delaware Park over 6f last month. A place may be the best she can hope for.
Full sister to Mr. Stream, won four times at 5f. A winner at 9-2 at Delaware Park over 7f (good) on her latest outing in July, beating Full Tilt Treasure by 1 3/4l. Needs to find a couple more gears just to get a place.
Dam won twice at 5f and 1m. A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten 8l behind March X Press at 15-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) last month. Has to find more than she did there.
Half-sister to Good And Proper, won three times at 1m. A winner at 18-1 at Laurel Park over 5f (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Lake Geneva by 1/2l. No fluke about that and she is worth a second glance.
Half-sister to I Use Tohave Money, won five times between 4f and 5f. Successful at 4f and 5f on the all-weather. A winner at 7-1 at Gulfstream over 5f on her latest outing in July, beating Diamonds R Trump. Having her first run for a new stable today and she is a major player.

ROSE TO FAME has joined Michael Matz since backing up her introductory success at Gulfstream when returning to that track for a stakes assignment. This requires more of her but she could well be up to it. Debut winners Proportionality and Mel's Gone Wild both came up short in Graded company next time so Wes Ward's impressive Monmouth victor Light Up The Town is put forward as the chief threat.
Dam unraced. There has been plenty of promise in her workouts.
Dam a lightly raced maiden. No surprise if she needs this.
Full sister to Can't Explain, won three times at 5f and 1m. Best to look elsewhere.
Dam won three times at 4f and 6f. Beaten 9l behind Hercatwillfoolu at 12-1 when last of 8 on her racecourse debut at Timonium over 4f last month. She must leave that a long way behind.
Placed in three of six starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Raspberry Swirl when sixth of 10 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f (firm) earlier this month. Experience will stand her in good stead.
Half-sister to Blu Moon Ace, won six times at 5f and 6f. Makes little appeal.
Half-sister to Prospector's Heart, won three times at 6f and 7f. Beaten 6l by Margie's Money when second of 9 at 17-2 on her racecourse debut at Laurel Park over 5f last month. That just about sets the standard.
Dam won at 6f. Watch the market for clues as to how forward she is.
Yet to place in three starts. Finished 9l behind Margie's Money when fourth of 9 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Ground to make up on the runner-up, Enchanted Star.
Half-sister to Purely Hot, won 11 times at 5f and 6f including a Grade 3 race. Interesting newcomer.

ENCHANTED STAR made a debut full of promise when runner-up over course and distance last month, with Jumping Michelle a couple of positions in arrears, and natural progression can see her go one better. Mary Eppler's pair Bay Of Cats and Steamy Hot are two of the more interesting newcomers.
Has won 11 races from 5f to 1m on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 4-5fav at Monmouth Park over 1m (good) last month, beating Bern' James Bern by 2 1/2l. Prolific winner who faces his acid test today.
Has won ten races from 5f to 7f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 7l behind Commend at 10-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) last month. Stakes-class sprinter has been a bit out of sorts of late.
Winner of five races at 5f on good ground. Beaten 4l behind Richard's Boy at 125-1 when 9th of 14 on his latest outing at Pimlico over 5f (good) in May. That suggests he isn't up to this sort of level.
Winner of six races from 5f to 6f on firm ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Winning The Medal when fourth of 8 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 5f (good) earlier this month. May be able to pick up some minor honours.
Has won eight races from 5f to 6f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind We Deer You when sixth of 7 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) earlier this month. Not currently firing on all cylinders.
He has won three times from 5f to 7f on good and good to soft ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 13-2 at Saratoga over 5f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Hold Me Black by 3/4l. Ex-Marco Botti inmate who made a perfect start to his American career.
Winner of seven races from 5f to 7f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 18-5 at Saratoga over 7f on his latest outing last month, beating Helooksthepart by 1/2l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Chris Englehart. More on his plate now.
Winner of five races at 5f on good ground. Third of 10 behind Pure Sensation beaten 3/4l at 15-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 5f (good) earlier this month. Tough sprinter who will give this a big shake.
He has won three times at 5f on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 5-2fav at Laurel Park over 5f (good) in July, beating Easy River by a neck. Steps up markedly in class.
Winner of six races from 5f to 6f on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 7-5fav at Timonium over 6f last month, beating Struth by 3 1/2l. At the top of his game and he should be thereabouts.

After signing off his European career with a close second in an Italian Group Three, Team Valor switched DREAM MOVER Stateside and he made an immediate impact by storming to victory at Saratoga. He can take the next step up the ladder, although Snowday and the hat-trick seeking Blu Moon Ace won't make it easy for him.
She has won four times from 6f to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind Guilty Twelve when sixth of 9 at 7-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Robert G Dick Memorial Stakes at Delaware Park over 1m 3f (good) in July. One for place punters to consider.
She has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground. Finished 13l behind Bawlmer Hon when fourth of 7 at 2-1fav on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (soft) last month. Another who could collect minor money.
Successful at 7f and 1m on good and soft ground. Beaten 1 1/4l by Tricky Escape when second of 7 at 11-5fav on her latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Seems to have settled into American life well.
Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Finished 5l behind Tricky Escape when sixth of 7 at 33-10 on her latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and they need to spark improvement.
Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 3 1/2l behind Lady Eli when last of 5 at 14-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 Woodford Reserve Ballston Spa Stakes at Saratoga over 1m (good) last month. Major contender at Listed level.
Winner of seven races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Tricky Escape beaten 1 1/2l at 13-5 on her latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Should be on the premises.
Yet to place in eight starts. Beaten 3 1/2l behind Cambodia at 10-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month. A regular in Graded company so she must be taken seriously.
She has won three times from 7f to 1m on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 11-2 at Penn National over 1m (firm) on her latest outing last month, beating Emelina by 1/2l. This might be a bridge too far.
Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 3l by You Know Too when second of 6 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Delaware Park over 1m (good) last month. Likely to fall short against this lot.
Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1 1/4l by Money'soncharlotte when second of 11 at 11-10fav on her latest outing at Thistledown over 1m 1f last month. If she can reproduce that form on turf, she will go very close.

Martini Glass has been rattling the crossbar, including in Grade One company on her penultimate outing, but those performances came on dirt, whereas ON LEAVE is at her most effective on turf and was only just over three lengths behind top mare Lady Eli last time. Light Up Our World, a Listed winner when with Richard Hannon, has acclimatised well and shouldn't be far away.
She has won three times at 5f on good ground. Finished 4l behind Fat Kat when fourth of 7 at 19-2 on her latest outing at Delaware Park over 5f (good) in July. Possibly biting off more than she can chew.
Winner of six races from 5f to 7f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1 3/4l by Ginger N Rye when second of 12 at 18-5 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) last month. Could well finish close to that winner today.
Winner of five races at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 4 1/2l by D'boldest when second of 5 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Suffolk Downs over 5f (good) in July. More effective over a route.
She has won three times from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten behind Everything Lovely at 19-2 when eighth of 11 on her latest outing at Pimlico over 5f in May. Faces an uphill task on that evidence.
Winner of five races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 17-5 at Saratoga over 5f (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Miss Ella by 1 3/4l. As reliable as she is classy, and she is a force to be reckoned with again.
Winner of six races at 5f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 8l behind Miss Ella at 13-1 when last of 9 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) in July. Better than that but a place could still be her best hope.
She has won four times from 5f to 6f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 19-10 at Saratoga over 5f (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Vigor by a short head. Deserves a crack at this sort of prize.
Successful at 5f and 6f on good ground. Beaten 14l behind Ginger N Rye at 18-1 when last of 12 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time but they are unlikely to spark the necessary improvement.
She has won four times from 5f to 1m on good ground. A winner at 35-1 at Delaware Park over 5f (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Northern Eclipse by 1 1/4l. This demands much more of her.
Winner of five races at 5f on good ground. Beaten 8l behind Lady Aurelia at 13-2 when seventh of 11 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 5f (good) in April. Sparingly raced over the past 18 months and that has to be a concern.
Winner of six races at 5f on good ground. Won on her latest outing when 16-10fav at Laurel Park over 5f (good) in July, beating Diadura by 1 1/2l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Arnaud Delacour. She hasn't been up to this sort of task in the past.
She has won four times from 4f to 1m on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Cavalia when fifth of 6 at 11-10fav on her latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 6f last month. Others preferred.
She has won three times from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Ginger N Rye at 22-1 when 9th of 12 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) last month. Capable of better.
Successful at 6f and 7f on firm ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind Tricky Escape when fifth of 7 at 15-1 on her latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Must improve.
Has won ten races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Shimmering Aspen beaten 8l at 8-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f (good) last month. Worth some thought if she gets a run.

GINGER N RYE fought off Miss Ella to scoop a $100k stakes event at Saratoga and is taken to confirm that superiority. Miss Ella is a major danger again, though, having won a hot race at the same track on her previous outing. Everything Lovely was down the field on that occasion but is better than that and could take a step back in the right direction.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 4f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind Class And Cash at 16-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m (good) last month. Didn't fire on that first appearance for over a year.
He has won four times from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten a neck by Just Howard when second of 8 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (soft) last month. Took his game to a new level that day and could improve again.
Winner of five races from 1m 2f to 1m 7f on good and good to soft ground. Beaten 7l behind Talismanic when eighth of 10 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil at Saint-Cloud over 1m 6f in July. Having his first run in America and must be accorded maximum respect.
He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 16-1 at Laurel Park over 1m (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Here's To Mike by 1 1/4l. Takes a notable step up now.
Winner of seven races at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2 1/2l behind Just Howard when fifth of 8 at 5-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (soft) last month. Ghost Bay has his measure on that evidence.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 5f on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 9-4fav at Saratoga over 1m 5f (good) last month, beating Nessy by 1l. Big contender if he repeats the level of that performance.
Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 4f on good and soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Muqtaser when fourth of 5 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 3f (good) last month. Entitled to come on from that first run since November 2015.
He has won three times from 1m 1f to 1m 3f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 2l by Hello Don Julio when second of 7 at 13-8fav on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 1f (good) last month. Capable of making the frame.
He has won four times at 1m on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 11-10fav at Arlington over 1m (good) last month, beating Half Of Manhattan by 1l. Place prospects.
Successful at 5f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 1 3/4l behind Teflon Tony when fifth of 10 at evens fav on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m (good) in June. Consistent enough and could earn minor honours.
He has won four times at 1m 4f on firm and good ground. Finished 5l behind Infinite Wisdom when fifth of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 5f (good) last month. Forced wide on that occasion so could finish closer to the winner.

Infinite Wisdom took his game to another level when landing a stakes contest at Saratoga, with Renown among those trailing in his wake. Ghost Bay went down with all guns blazing here last time, but a chance is taken that CANESSAR has settled into life in the US because he was a Listed winner in France as recently as June and didn't disgrace himself in a Group Two most recently.
Winner of seven races from 6f to 7f. Beaten 3 1/2l by Blu Moon Ace when second of 9 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Timonium over 6f last month. No easy task to make up so much ground on the winner.
Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Third of 4 behind Just Call Kenny beaten 5l at 9-5 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Phillip H Iselin Stakes at Monmouth Park over 1m 1f last month. Give him plenty of thought.
Winner of seven races from 4f to 1m. Beaten 8l by El Deal when second of 7 at 11-1 on his latest outing in the Grade 1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga over 6f in July. High-quality sprinter with major claims.
Winner of seven races at 6f. Third of 8 behind Roy H beaten 6l at 21-20fav on his latest outing at Belmont Park over 6f in June. Exciting speedster who will make his presence felt again.
Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Won on his latest outing when 7-5fav at Timonium over 6f last month, beating Struth by 3 1/2l. Also engaged earlier on the card but an obvious candidate if he shows up here.
Has won nine races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 3 1/2l by Fuzzy Muzzle when second of 9 at 2-5fav on his latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jorge Navarro. Merits respect.
Has won eight races at 6f. Beaten 1/2l by The Man when second of 4 at 17-10 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f earlier this month. That was his first run since March so he could progress.

Blu Moon Ace hammered Struth at Timonium and is a player if running here instead of the 8.10. Awesome Banner occupied the runner-up berth in Grade One company at Saratoga but he was beaten a fair distance and had previously taken third behind WHITMORE at Pimlico. Ron Moquett's sprinter has since made the frame in the True North Stakes and he will take a power of beating here.
A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten 7l behind Catholic Boy at 25-1 when 9th of 11 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m (good) last month. Twice found wanting in Grade Three company since his successful debut.
A winner at 8-1 at Thirsk over 6f (good) on his latest outing in July, beating Arcavallo by 3/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kevin Ryan in the UK. Very interesting on his first start in the USA.
Successful twice at 5f on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Kowboy Karma when fourth of 7 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Delaware Park over 5f last month. Hardly disgraced there but must still find extra.
A winner at 15-2 at Saratoga over 5f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Elusive Mischief by 2 1/4l. Progressive colt who cannot be dismissed lightly.
Half-brother to Gio's Lady, won at 1m. A winner at 11-1 at Belmont Park over 6f (good) on his latest outing in July, beating Joe's Smokin Gun by 1 3/4l. Impressive there and this is the logical next step.
Dam won three times at 6f and 7f. A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Kowboy Karma beaten 6l at 33-1 on his latest outing at Delaware Park over 5f last month. Leading candidate on the back of that.
Half-brother to Laria, won four times at 5f and 1m. A winner at 5-1 at Saratoga over 5f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Barbarossa by 3/4l. Sure to have derived considerable benefit from that.
Half-brother to Soul Driver, won three times at 1m and 1m 1f. A winner at 6-1 at Laurel Park over 5f (firm) on his latest outing last month, beating Riteamontofmschief by 2 1/4l. That was a major step forward from his debut and he needs to make similar progress.
A winner at 18-5 at Timonium over 4f on his latest outing last month, beating Shape Of You by 1l. Beaten by Blue Ridge Scout before that, though.
Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Monmouth Park over 5f last month, beating Swiping Dan. Going the right way but this may come too soon.
A winner at 5f on good ground. Third of 6 behind Flameaway beaten 4l at 19-5 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (firm) last month. Twice placed in Grade Three company and he looks the one to beat.

Battle Station and Therapist are very interesting on the back of impressive debut successes in New York, but it may to side with the proven quality of DIAL ONE. Todd Pletcher's colt got off the mark at the first time of asking and his two subsequent third placings in Grade Threes at Gulfstream and Saratoga set a clear standard for the others to aim at.
He has won four times from 5f to 7f. Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Laurel Park over 5f last month, beating Gold Braid by 9l. This is tougher but he was very impressive.
Placed twice in six starts. Finished 7l behind Clubman when fifth of 8 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Each-way player.
A winner at 1m. Finished 8l behind Clubman when sixth of 8 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Claims if judged instead on previous fourth in a stake.
He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 5l behind Miners Quest when sixth of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f (good) last month. Must up his game.
