Woodbine Race 8 - Ruling Angel S. Presented By Ketel One Stakes
LUSTER (2) looks the one after a dominant last‑start win at Keeneland over 1710m, scoring by 5L, and she also won her only start here over 1408m. DIXIE LAW (4) is a key chance with two Woodbine stakes wins at 1710m last year before a respectable 4th in stakes grade over 1811m. MEILANI (6) brings solid form, last seen 3rd at Gulfstream over 1710m after a maiden win and close second at Woodbine late last year. FROSTY MOJITO (1) can give cheek from the draw, having led and stuck on for 4th at Churchill Downs over 1609m two weeks ago.
