Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Aug. 28

Ron Gierkink|Aug 28, 2017

VERBOTEN
Trainer: Malcolm Pierce
Last race: Aug. 25, 5^th
Finish: 1^st by 1 3/4
Beyer: 72
He blew by the well-regarded Silent Poet under a hand ride to win his debut in a six-furlong maiden special on the grass going away. The son of Elusive Quality looks like a contender for next month’s Grade 2 Summer Stakes.

SIGNATURE HEART
Trainer: Sid Attard
Last race: Aug. 26, 10^th
Finish: 5^th by 3 3/4
Beyer: 61
He was sandwiched between rivals at the break and then went quite wide on the turn as the second choice in a $20,000 conditioned claimer.

WONDER GADOT
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Aug. 26, 3rd
Finish: 1^st by 4
Beyer: 73
The daughter of Medaglia d’Oro was a professional winner and galloped out strongly when debuting in the allowance prep for the Natalma Stakes. She should be a factor in the Grade 1 Natalma itself.
