Race Tip

SILVER KNOTT (6) multiple Group 2 winner. Raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey in the G1 Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes at Saratoga (Turf). This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. Joe Hirsch Turf Classic winner WAR LIKE GODDESS (4) was well fancied last time but found one better in the G2 Flower Bowl Stakes at Saratoga (Turf), finishing 1.5 lengths adrift at the end of 1m3f. Record at this trip is excellent. Expected to go very well. Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes winner FAR BRIDGE (7) has two wins and one placing from five starts this campaign. Scored last start by one length in the G1 Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes at Saratoga (Turf) over 1m4f after being prominent upon straightening. This is the right race and he can return to the winners' list. Group 2 winner EMMANUEL (3) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1m in the G3 Franklin-Simpson Mile Stakes at Kentucky (Turf). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Must be respected.
