Race Tip
Group 3 placegetter MRS ASTOR (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 1m at Keeneland. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. NEON ICON (7) impressed when successful on debut over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Dirt) five weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. VIVA LA RED (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Keeneland (Turf), finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m4f after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. JANEY CREED (2) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when fifth over 1m1 1/2f at Keeneland, beaten 2 lengths. One of the main hopes.
