Race Tip

WAYS AND MEANS (9) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 6½f in the G2 Gallant Bloom Handicap at Aqueduct (Dirt) five weeks ago. Flavien Prat has been the pilot at her last three wins. Should be hard to stop. SOCIETY (6) scored at her latest appearance over 7f in the G1 Ballerina Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) on August 24. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming three wins from six runs and scored when resuming last prep, should feature in the finish. VAHVA (4) resumes. After filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep in the g1 ballerina stakes at saratoga (dirt) over 7f on august 24. I Ortiz Jr who has two wins when partnering stays on. Has winning claims on best figures. ZEITLOS (7) scored last start in the G2 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt) to make it six wins from eight starts this campaign. Tougher assignment this time but cannot be underestimated.
