Race Tip

HOT MASH (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Keeneland Turf, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. CONNECT THE STARS (8) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5. 5 lengths behind Imaginationthelady over 1m1/2f in the G2 Edgewood Stakes at this track (Turf). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. STAR ACTRESS (6) ran below expectations last time at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at 7/2. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. STEPPING STONES (9) was below her best last time when 6 lengths from the winner in fourth over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Not to be discounted.
