Gierkink's Woodbine horses to watch for week of Aug. 3

MISS SEA
Trainer: Mike Keogh
Last race: July 29, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 3/4
Beyer: 85
She took her game to another level when mounting a wide bid from last to finish just behind the two favorites in the Eternal Search Stakes. It was the versatile 3-year-old’s first race around two turns, and she appears to have a productive future in Ontario-sired company.

MOST INSPIRING
Trainer: Danny Vella
Last race: July 31, 5th
Finish: 1st by 3 1/4
Beyer: 68
The daughter of promising freshman sire Gio Ponti, a two-time turf champion, closed along the rail after awaiting room to land her debut in a six-furlong maiden special weight race, after which she galloped out well. She’s an obvious prospect for next month’s Grade 2 Natalma Stakes.

LYNNESSA
Trainer: Ron Sadler
Last race: Aug. 1, 8th
Finish: 4th by 4
Beyer: 74
After getting away slowly and trailing a large field in the Victoriana Stakes, she sought room to rally along the inside and on the outside before finally making up some ground in the final furlong.
