Race Tip
Group 2 winner LEGEND OF TIME (1) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by a nose over 1m1f in the G2 Pennine Ridge Stakes at this track (Turf). Improvement in store so he looks very hard to beat. Group 2 placegetter WHITE PALOMINO (2) continues to race well with a win in a at Keeneland (Turf) before finishing a nose away in second last time over 1m1f in the G2 Pennine Ridge Stakes at this track (Turf). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. Group 2 winner TRIKARI (4) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Placed last time over 1m in the G3 Penn Mile Stakes at Penn National (Turf) but prior to that put together two wins on end. In form and likely to figure in the finish again. ENDLESSLY (5) multiple Group 3 winner. Was in great form last campaign with two wins on end before finishing ninth at the last appearance at Churchill Downs. Proven when resuming performer with an impressive win strike-rate. Did launch his last prep with a win over 1m1f at Golden Gate Fields. Sure to be competitive.
