2020 STRICKLAND STAKES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
The Velvet King might get some control in front, Taxagano can press forward up this trip. Noir De Rue has some early speed too.
PERFECT JEWEL (7) has beaten the same field impressively at her past two starts and on the strength of her win over a mile the 2000m won't be an issue. The one to beat. THE VELVET KING (4) has to be a query at the trip but he's a competitor and if he gets a soft lead could give more cheek.
MISSISSIPPI DELTA (8) is getting out to her preferred distance range and no reason she couldn't be placed again. GATTING (2) can improve and NOIR DE RUE (6) next best.
