Race Tip

Group 3 placegetter UNSUNG MELODY (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 5½f at Saratoga (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 2 lengths. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. ZEITLOS (2) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished 1.1 lengths away in fifth last time out over 5½f at Saratoga seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Cristian Mauricio Torres who has three wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. Group 3 placegetter POSITANO SUNSET (3) finished fourth when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Saratoga. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from three starts. Can give this a shake. Group 3 placegetter RUN FOR THE HILLS (1) tackled in a Group 3 last time on turf when a 6 length ninth over 5½f at Saratoga. That came on the back of a win on dirt at Saratoga the run prior. Significant class drop this time. Solid claims on her best form.
