Keeneland Race 8 - Bewitch S. Presented By Keeneland Sales Stakes
SPEED SHOPPER (9) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in third over 2414m at Gulfstream Park Turf when resuming after a break. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. MRS ASTOR (6) was a narrow winner by 0.1 lengths at Listed level at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) two back then third in the G3 Santa Ana Stakes at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) last time. Gets a little weight relief. Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from three starts. Leading contender. JUST BASKING (7) settled well back before finishing 1.5 lengths adrift in fourth over 2414m in the G3 Orchid Stakes at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) last time. Javier Castellano stays on. One of the main contenders. WAY TO BE MARIE (1) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to score by 0.3 lengths over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf. Stiffer assignment here but is ready for the challenge.

Second run back. First-up after two months 3rd of 7 at Gulfstream Park Turf in the G3 Orchid Stakes on March 28 over 2414m, 1.0 len behind Sultana with 56kg at $3.70. Previously second-up won by 1.75 len at Gulfstream Park Turf G3 Christophe Clement (La Prevoyante) Stakes January 24 over 2414m defeating Ayra Stark carrying 54.5kg at $8.30. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
