Woodbine Race 7

Bet365 Highlander Stakes - Grade 2

Stake: $326,284

FILO DI ARIANNA (6) multiple Group 2 winner. Hadn't been far away prior to finishing 6 lengths adrift in seventh last start over 1106m in the G1 Jaipur Stakes at Saratoga (Turf). Can bounce back. STEP FORWARD (8) is racing well, scoring by 3 lengths two back at this track then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1207m in the G3 Jacques Cartier Stakes at this track when not too far away. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. Group 3 winner SECRET RESERVE (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1408m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has never missed the frame when third-up from a break so he is among the leading chances. SARATOGA FLASH (4) is back from a break of three months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1609m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Worth plenty of thought.
