Race Tip

CHOPSTICKS (5) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 8 lengths away in sixth over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on May 1 which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Change of jockey to Florent Geroux who has a strong record when aboard, including two wins. Should be in the finish. NEXT UP (1) ran below expectations last time at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at 11/4. Worth noting Mario Gutierrez goes aboard. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. VINO TIEMPO (4) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1m1f, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Ready to win. POPPY THE PRINCESS (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1m at this track (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot return to winning ways.
