Race Tip

SHE FEELS PRETTY (7) natalma Stakes winner. Is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 1m at Listed level at Pimlico (Turf). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. Group 3 winner PIN UP BETTY (1) was a gutsy winner last time over 1m1f in the G3 Regret Stakes at Churchill Downs (Turf), scoring by 1.5 lengths to make it two wins in succession. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. BUCHU (4) multiple Group 2 winner. Did a good job last start to finish second in the G3 Regret Stakes at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1m1f, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Should be involved in the finish. SEGESTA (6) grade 2 winner. Showed good early speed over 1m1f in the G2 Wonder Again Stakes at this track (Turf) last time and went on to salute by half a length. Has a formidable combination with I Ortiz Jr who has been aboard for her last two wins. Must be respected.
