Race Tip

LEGACY LINK (9) ran a strong race when second in the G1 Oaks tackling 1m4f at Epsom Downs having won the G3 Musidora over 1m2 1/4f at York on return. Sets a clear standard. GILDED PRIZE (5) performed below expectations when fifth in the G2 Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp. Previously made all to win the G3 Prix Cléopâtre by 3. 5L and can rebound tackling this longer trip. Represents the main danger. EARTH SHOT (4) was narrowly denied in the Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes contesting 1m1 1f at Goodwood and remains progressive. Holds appeal. JOHANNA WALSH (7) made all to win a Leopardstown maiden by 3. 25L. Open to further improvement. Not dismissed.
