Race Tip

GRAND SLAM SMILE (7) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 4.5 lengths when resuming last time out over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Santa Anita (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. PUSHINESS (9) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second over 6f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. SAFA (5) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Listed level at Santa Anita (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by half a length as favourite last time out over 6½f at Santa Anita (Turf). Tiago Josue Pereira scored on her last time and retains the ride. Meets a stronger field but she is worth serious consideration. PRANCINGTHRUPARIS (2) was well supported when resuming last time out over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) and proved too strong, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth including.
