Race Tip

BULLARD (5) is a promising galloper who kept his unbeaten record intact last start when resuming over 7f at Del Mar, making it two victories. Far too good last time and is right in contention again. MCKINZIE STREET (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 7f in the G3 Bob Hope Stakes at Del Mar (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. BARNES (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 5½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to make his presence felt again. ROMANESQUE (3) showed good early speed over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt) on debut last start and went on to salute by 2.25 lengths. Must be respected.
