Race Tip
Group 3 placegetter WHO DEY (1) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1m1/2f in the G3 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) nine weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. MOST WANTED (2) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1m at this track (Dirt). Hard to deny his credentials. Group 1 placegetter CATALYTIC (7) started favourite last time out over 7f in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) but found one better, making it three minor placings from four starts this campaign. He has solid claims. NOT THIS BOY (3) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a second at Churchill Downs (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 7 lengths as favourite last time out over 7f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
