$500,000 Grade I Fourstardave Handicap
Race 10 | Inner Turf | 8 Furlongs
.
#1 Casa Creed 5/2
Has posted three wins sprinting over the last year but has seen this mile distance come up a bit trickier failing to be victorious since 2019. However, seems to be in improved condition when last out off the lay-off posted a 77/82 compared to a year ago going 77/79h at the same trip. Interested to see if the public scoffs at the recent difficulty in getting 8 panels and lets this one's odds float up to value town.
#2 Front Run The Fed 10/1
Across the running lines, he doesn't display the same larger turf spreads others do here leaving this one needing a positional advantage to sling-shot the turn and try to get home. Even in this small field, figures to have company in the #5 if looking to that plan of attack.
#3 Regal Glory 6/5
Mare facing boys here is a habitual winner that always shows up flying late in the +17 turf spread range. Chances to beat but very unlikely to miss exotics.
#4 Masen (GB) 2/1
Lacks the Final Figures the rest of this field has posted thus far moving to face tougher here and seems like an underlay worth taking a stance against.
#5 Get Smokin 8/1
They get this one into a Grade I here feeling good with some recency looking to build off a lifetime best running line of 73/82h. Sometimes getting caught geared up last year with some negative turf spreads, has now been more consistent and rates a good shot to get some odds into the exotics here in great condition. Trainer does much better when getting them back quicker posting 4% winners in Grade I events when over 30 days off but jumping all the way up to 15% with runners less than 30 days off. May be the controlling speed and get brave late with some odds.
