Woodbine Race 6 - Branded Cities Vigil S. Stakes
PIPER'S FACTOR (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1609m in the G2 King Edward Stakes at Woodbine. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NOTORIOUS GANGSTER (7) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better in the G3 Bold Venture Stakes at this track over 1308m, beaten 0.9 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Rafael Manuel Hernandez sticks. Best form puts him right in this. SOUPED UP (4) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a nose over 1308m in the G3 Bold Venture Stakes at this track. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and three minor placings from four starts and is capable of going well. MANSETTI (5) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1710m in the G3 Seagram Cup Stakes at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Pietro Moran who has three wins when partnering stays on. Can play a role in the finish.
