Commander Z seeks back-to-back wins in Restricted Stakes Contest
Tomorrow, seven talented runners will face off in a thrilling Restricted Stakes contest over 5 ½ furlongs (1,100m), with a purse of $1.19 million up for grabs. The race is for imported three-year-olds and upward (non-winners three) and native-bred three-year-olds and four-year-olds (non winners of four).
The Supreme Racing Guide analyses each contender’s chances:
1. MOTIVATE ME BABY (USA): (3 ch f by Union Jackson – On Board) – Despite showing promise, Motivate Me Baby has only managed one win from four starts on local soil. She’s unlikely to add to that tally here.
2. RICHES TO RAGS (USA): (3 ch f by Union Rags – Place des Vosges) – Won’t impact the race’s outcome.
3. UNBELIEVABLE FORCE (USA): (3 dk b/br f by McCraken – Debit or Credit) – Unbelievable Force impressed with an 8-length win on August 6 over tomorrow’s distance, clocking a swift 1:06.4. She’s a strong contender here.
4. SHE’S A GODGIFT (USA): (3 b f by Wildcat Red – Ghostly Direction) – After a two-race winning streak, She’s A Godgift was narrowly beaten by Chocomo on May 5. She can rebound with a solid effort here.
5. O SO SMART: (3 ch f by Soul Warrior – Patchwork) – Unfortunately, O So Smart has no chance of winning this contest.
6. CRYPTOGIRL: (3 ch f by Soul Warrior – Twilight Eruption) – Cryptogirl will struggle to keep up with the pace and is unlikely to be a factor.
7. COMMANDER Z (USA): (3 ch c by Khozan – Wontoo) – The highly-rated foreigner seeks his second-consecutive win, having dominated his last outing on July 8 with a three-length victory in 1:13.0. Commander Z is expected to win again.
