3:52 Chester Tips

Ralph Beckett's four-year-old filly steps up to black-type level tomorrow in the Listed City Plate Stakes. Running unpenalized under tomorrow's stakes conditions, she has an excellent chance to build on her brilliant recent effort over this exact course and distance on June 27th, where she was agonizingly denied by just a half-length in a driving finish. The stable is sticking to her absolute optimum 7-furlong trip rather than dropping down, which allows her to fully utilize her high-cruising speed. Edward Greatrex takes the ride again, and since she has a sharp, asset-like break from the stalls, she is perfectly equipped to exploit Chester's inside rail and set a very formidable standard.
