Race Tip

WHISTLEJACKET (4) followed-up his debut second in a maiden here with a comfortable Listed victory at the course. Just missed the frame in a G2 at Ascot before validating strong market support landing the Kingdom Of Bahrain July Stakes at Newmarket. Up in grade but clearly progressive and a big run anticipated. BABOUCHE (5) remained unbeaten to make it two from two with a cosy 0.5L course and distance G3 success. This race has been her aim and no surprise if the unexposed Ger Lyons filly puts forward a bold bid for a hat-trick. HEAVENS GATE (6) has not missed the frame in four attempts over the distance including at the course. Justified heavy favouritism seeing off her rivals five-days ago at Naas. Shortlist. ARIZONA BLAZE (1) was ahead of the main selection placing at Ascot and is two from four at the track. Not out of it.
