BOZZELLO<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-agz5i3040\">The still unexplained disappearance of the\u00a0Gran Premio 1000 Guineas (G1)\u00a0from the national calendar left the sophomore fillies without major turf targets during the first half of the second semester at\u00a0San Isidro. Thus, on the road to the\u00a0Alvear (G2)\u00a0and the\u00a0Acebal (G1), the\u00a0Cl\u00e1sico Marina Lezcano\u00a0(1600mT) assumes an important role this Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-cfeit3988\">Part of a high-profile card on the turf\u2014albeit with just six entries\u2014the feature will have as its headliner\u00a0Catys Queen (Lizard Island), who bids to build on the strong impression she made when runner-up in the\u00a0Cl\u00e1sico Bayakoa (L)\u00a034 days ago, finishing five lengths behind\u00a0Mi Confesi\u00f3n (Suggestive Boy), the Palermo-based filly now targeting the\u00a0Polla (G1).<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-7c35e3998\">Also coming out of that same race is\u00a0Mi Gran Chica (Seahenge), who checked in fourth, just a length and a head behind the favorite. With such a slim margin to overturn, the\u00a0Stud Friends\u00a0representative rates as a serious player as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-nzp6h4004\">More than two months have passed since\u00a0Great Fight (Equal Stripes)\u00a0broke her maiden over this same track and trip on wet ground. Though it took her a bit longer than expected to clear that condition, she has reportedly progressed nicely in the interim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-kldba4008\">Brazilian-bred\u00a0Pale Ale (Outstrip)\u00a0opened her career with a victory and now looks to keep her unbeaten record intact as she steps up in class. Further down the pecking order are\u00a0Invocaci\u00f3n (Treasure Beach)\u00a0and\u00a0Sanky (Seize), both seeking redemption after disappointing efforts last time out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0Lizard Island\u00a0filly finished second in the Bayakoa (L) and now dreams of capturing her first major trophy Caty&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101809,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-101808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
