Two colts, both Hambo-eligibles, received byes for the
Dexter Cup Final on May 5, leaving a single elim, worth $46,100, that will
dismiss two in a field of eight at Freehold
Raceway on April 28.
Frost Bites K (Broadway Hall) and Southwind Austin (Conway
Hall) will appear for the May 5 final, while three other eligibles will battle
for berths in the final by finishing in the top six on April 28.
Not Afraid (SJ’s Caviar), Astarsborn Hanover (Donato
Hanover) and Market Share (Revenue S) take on five non-eligibles also trying
for a spot on May 5.
Rightfully so, the morning-line favorite is the undefeated
Market Share, coming off of two qualifiers to begin his sophomore season and a
campaign aimed at the big prize in August for trainer Linda Toscano.
This obvious choice helps our eyes stray to Jimmy Takter’s
Not Afraid, a colt we already backed successfully in March’s “Singer Memorial.”
Although he lost to On The Podium (a non-eligible coupled with Astarisborn
Hanover) once, he beat him twice showing a sense of consistency important on
the early trail. Plus, he should still be at fair odds considering the spotless
record of Market Share.
From post 8, Broadway Zinger, a non-eligible, is still a
danger, especially if there is any dueling up front. He should be aggressive,
aiming at making the final and getting a better post.
Another non-eligible, Trouble, is the other good element for
triple tickets, and if he can stay flat, the Not Afraid-key triple with the two
non-eligibles, leaving the Astarisborn Hanover-entry out of it, could be a huge
price.
