ANALYSIS: Accelerant has run very well the last two times hes faced this kind, including a win when claimed by Miyadi Aug 1. Hes definitely a contender, but horses at this level just arent prone to stringing races together, and his odds figure to be low. Titled Nobility and Noble Kent finished 2-3 in that Aug 1 heat. Both have a chance to make an impact. Noble Kent was dropping from the No Cal Allowance ranks that day, so he might be interesting in this spot. American Blend just missed with $16,000 claimers May 15. The return at this low level is a bit of a concern, but hes a threat if he runs his race. Black N Beauty ships in from New Mexico off a 9-length win over $7,500 claimers July 19. He has speed and charts well, so hes worth consideration. Dekko has finished in the money with this kind in both of his starts this year, so he could make an impact. Warrens Joe T and Planet Sunshine also could have a say if they scratch in. Its another race that we have no strong opinion in. Well take a shot with Noble Kent as the HF 15a. Its another tough race to guess how the betting will go, so well have to keep the HF 20 on ice. CLOSERS: Fastest in the stretch in recent races at or near this distance have been: Noble Kent :26.2 Accelerant :26.4 Black N Beauty, American Blend :26.7
Horses that are fast early and fast late are often tough customers and Black N Beauty looks like one of those runners. He has the quickest first fraction of 22.3 and he finishes 2nd at the imaginary wire with the third fastest last fraction of 26.7.
