SELECTIONS: SOHO CHARMER (10), SOHO PARK AVENUE (7), USYK (13), MISTER AMERICANO (1)ﾠ
OVERVIEW: SOHO CHARMER (10) produced a massive effort to finish second in his heat. He began quickly to lead, was pressured hard throughout and went down fighting in super time. Considering the mile rate in his heat was 1.53.7 and the other three heats went times of 1.57.1, 1.57.2 and 1.57.8, his effort was the superior of any runner contesting tonight’s two semi-finals, so he should prove hard to beat as long as that effort didn’t take a toll. SOHO PARK AVENUE (7) pushed forward to find the lead and won his heat comfortably last week. He won the Shakamaker Classic prior and finished fifth in the Protostar in July so he warrants respect. USYK (13) faces a negative swing in the barrier draw but he is a speedy pacer, which has had a fruitful season having won six races. He dominated the Youthful Stakes in a mile rate of 1.53.2 on August 23 and he was able to cruise through his heat performance by leading all of the way. MISTER AMERICANO (1) can run a cheeky race from the pole position and the Emma Stewart trained pacers LOWRIDER (6) and SNIPPET (9) both warrant respect.
