He ran to his excellent works in an impressive off-the-pace score at first asking in a five-furlong maiden special. The well-bred 2-year-old colt by Declaration of War appears to possess stakes potential.

Hammersly: How I'll play the pick four at Canterbury Park for Tuesday, July 3, 2018

Race 8

STELLA MALONE showed ability on turf here last summer with two find outings. She hasn’t been as good since but all her work has come vs. tougher. She drops, get blinkers and has worked strongly since her last. MODEL BY ARTIE set the pace and stayed on to be second to a big winner in a race like this here June 15. She may be the one to catch. GREAT FINALE was too far back and very wide here June 15 at this level. She has speed and if she uses it here can be in a much better spot. (3)

Gierkink: How I'll play the 2018 Queen's Plate card

The spectacular 13-race Queen’s Plate card begins with a one-mile turf route that combines Ontario-sired allowance types with $40,000 claimers. My homebred, Kadley, is dropping off a charging third in an open, first-level allowance. She should be closing effectively from far back in her third start of the season.
