Fit To Fire favoured for Blumenthal Trophy

World 1 source 1 country 7m ago

A field of eight runners will go to post for the $1.25-million Blumenthal Trophy, an Overnight Allowance contest for three-year-olds and upward over 6½ furlongs (1,300m) at Caymanas Park tomorrow. The Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide takes a close look at each runner and their winning chances. ATLANTIC CONVOY (CAN): (6 ch h Stormy Atlantic - Sweet Emily) – Has no form to be recommended here.

Beaten 15 lengths on last at this level. ANTARCTICA: (6 b h Savoy Stomp - Jesse’s Favorite) – Has no chance of winning. BULLETPROOFCOFFEE (USA): (6 b m He Be Fire N Ice - Plan A Surprise) – No surprise here.

Bulletproofcoffee is going to be left behind in this company. WALL STREET TRADER: (USA) (7 dk b/br g Vancouver - Selva) – Finished a good second behind Mojito on August 30 going six furlongs in 1:13.4. He was only beaten 1 1/4 lengths that day.

Very consistent at this level and so expected to run another good race here. OF A REVOLUTION (USA): (7 ch m MacLean’s Music - Hot Spell) – Has one win from eight starts this season but has gone close a couple of times. Of A Revolution came from behind runners to finish second behind Pepper Stepper at five furlongs straight on September 12 in 58.2.

She should enjoy this trip more — 6 1/2 is her best distance — and could get up for the win. FIT TO FIRE (USA): (4 dk b/br g Khozan - Pretty Miss Kitty) – Highly-rated foreigner makes his debut on local soil here. He has won three races from 12 starts in the United States, with two of those wins coming this year.

Last raced at Gulfstream Park on May 24 over six furlongs and won in a fast time of 1:10.2. He has been working really well for his debut and could win at first time of asking. NEBUCHADNEZZAR: (4 ch c Soul Warrior - Queen of Bagdad) – Did well to reach this level but has no chance here against these Americans.
