Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Oct. 1, 2018

MO SPEED
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Sept. 28, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 4
Beyer: 60
Over a turf course that favored closers, the debuting Uncle Mo colt set a pressured pace before weakening in the final sixteenth of a one-mile maiden special. The $500,000 yearling purchase will be fitter for the experience.

GRAY PHANTOM
Trainer: Jim Ensom
Last race: Sept. 29, 11th
Finish: Didn’t finish
Beyer: NA
He was coming off an improved race before he clipped heels and lost his rider in a first-level allowance. He just missed taking the Grey Handicap last year, and will be dropping into that all-gray starter on Oct. 21.

CLEAR FOR ACTION
Trainer: Mike Maker
Last race: Sept. 30, 1st
Finish: 2nd by a head
Beyer: 65
After prevailing in a front-end battle, he got nailed on the wire in his much-improved second start in a seven-furlong maiden special.
