Race Tip

BELIEVING (3) can record a second success of her campaign. The hardy George Boughey trained filly acquitted herself well when fourth in both the G1 King Charles III Stakes and Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. Could take some beating under Ryan Moore. Progressive Tipperary (5f) conditions race winner SHE'S QUALITY (9) may prove the main threat although MAKAROVA (4) deserves plenty of respect after winning the G3 Coral Charge from off the pace at Sandown last time. BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND (8) won the Listed Land O'Burns at Ayr (5f) recently and also brings form to figure at the finish.
