ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Eclipse champion Wonder Wheel will try to get back on the beam in her first start on Tapeta in Saturday’s Grade 3 Selene for fillies, one of two 1 1/16-mile stakes for 3-year-olds worth $150,000 on Woodbine’s Canada Day card, along with the Marine. Wonder Wheel won four of five outings at 2, including the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies and the Grade 1 Alcibiades, both going 1 1/16 miles at Keeneland. She was voted the Eclipse Award for champion 2-year-old filly by a landslide margin. Wonder Wheel has endured the sophomore slump this year. She rallied wide over an inside-favoring track to drop a neck decision in her season opener in the Suncoast Stakes at Tampa. She went on to finish sixth in the Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland and was ninth most recently in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill. “I thought her first race back was good,” said trainer Mark Casse, who has won the Selene eight times. “She was pretty flat in the Ashland. The Oaks was kind of an oddly-run race. We decided to send her to Toronto, let her enjoy some cooler weather, and try to get her back on track. At some point, I want to try her on the grass. That was another reason to bring her there. We’re happy with her.” :: Take your handicapping to the next level and play with FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.  Jockey Patrick Husbands has been working Wonder Wheel on the Tapeta and was aboard when the D. J. Stable-owned filly breezed a half-mile in 47.40 last Saturday. She’s by the popular Into Mischief, who has sired a good 14 percent winners in synthetic routes. This will be her first race with Lasix. Casse also entered Solo Album, who wired maiden-special opposition going long on the Tapeta in her sixth start here May 12. He said he has few options for the pricey daughter of Curlin at Woodbine. “There’s not a lot of places for 3-year-old fillies on synthetic that aren’t Canadian-breds,” Casse pointed out. Among the others in the 10-horse field are Woodbine Oaks hopefuls Fortyfiveseventy and Tito’s Calling. The Grade 3 Marine is a prep for the prestigious King’s Plate for the Canadian-breds in the field, which includes King Corrie Stakes winner Twin City. When coming off the sidelines on May 21, Twin City pressed slow splits in the seven-furlong King Corrie, as the favored shipper Wico raced in third. Wico made a wide bid on the turn to challenge Twin City for the lead entering the stretch, and they dueled to the wire where Twin City prevailed in a head bob. Twin City was making his first start since a neck loss in the Nov. 6 Coronation Futurity, a 1 1/8-mile event for Canadian-breds. Trainer Stuart Simon said the plan with Twin City after the Marine is to contest the July 23 Plate Trial Stakes en route to the $1 million King’s Plate on Aug. 20. “He’s a big, scopey gelding,” Simon said. “We always thought he was a two-turn horse. He won going seven-eighths, but he ran well every time I two-turned him. With a little luck, he probably should have won the Coronation. He got shuffled back, then had nowhere to go, and he finally shook loose around the eighth pole. If he had gotten a clear run at the head of the lane, he would have won pretty easy.” :: Bet the races on DRF Bets!

Velocitor set slow fractions on a golden rail before taking the Coronation in a 21-1 upset. The huge bay had a wide trip in a stalking position over an inside-biased track before fading to seventh in his comeback in the King Corrie, a race he seemingly needed. Casse-trained Stayhonor Goodside was a wide-closing fourth in the King Corrie in his second start of the season, after which he galloped in front. “I want to run him a little farther to see if he’s a Plate horse,” Casse said. Kaukokaipuu and One Bay Hemingway were both supplemented after finishing first and fourth, respectively, in the seven-furlong Queenston Stakes for Canadian-breds on June 11. After wintering at Palm Meadows in Florida, Simcoe graduated in his penultimate start before beating older allowance opposition in another 1 1/16-mile Tapeta route here June 4. His trainer, Katerina Vassilieva, won last year’s Marine with the future Plate favorite Rondure. Favoritism in the eight-horse field could fall to Turf King, a Chad Brown-trained shipper based at Monmouth. Turf King captured his debut going long over Gulfstream’s Tapeta in February before doubling up in an allowance on the grass at Keeneland. The Irish-bred closed for third most recently in the one-mile Jersey Derby on the Monmouth grass while earning an 87 Beyer Speed Figure. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
