Race Tip

THETA (6) impressed last time with a 4 length win at this track (Dirt) over this journey. Has never been out of the money in six starts here, including a win. Will prove tough to beat. NINETY PROOF (4) is back at the races for the first time since February 14. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6½f at this track. Has found the right race. GREY FLAMINGO (1) started at 5/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 1.75 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ESSENTIAL MAGIC (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over the same trip. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back.
