A high-quality card for a Wedneday night, headed by the $74,500 allowance prep for the G2 Kennedy Road Stakes. All eight races are on the Tapeta.
The prep (race 6) is wide open. It could have a vulnerable favorite in Hemp Hemp Hurray, who was a hanging second in each of his last three outings, most recently in the G2 Nearctic on turf. Singandcryindubai was a wide fourth in the Nearctic, in which Ikerrin Road finished eighth. Abbaa might need one following a long layoff.
City Boy, Kitten's Cat and Circle of Friends are all scratched from the sixth, leaving a five-horse field.
The second, an allowance sprint for 2yo fillies, is loaded with speed, which could set the table for Georgian Dancer.
Morning line favorite Blurricane is competing on short rest in the third, and could be over the top. Magic Spell is an important scratch from the second-level optional claimer.
Patrick Husbands is off his mounts. He fractured his pelvis in the warmup before the fifth race on Sunday.
