Race Tip

Augustus blue (1) returns after ten weeks in the paddock.Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1m at horseshoe indianapolis (turf).Commenced last prep with a minor placing at turfway park over 1m.Rates on top and is a great chance to break through.Battle born (3) is yet to break through in 10 runs.Finished fourth after being prominent at the bend at his last appearance over 6f at this track (dirt) on november 3.Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.Hijack the party (8) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the turn, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at keeneland.Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration.Spanish doubloon (6) improved last start to finish second over 6f at keeneland.Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
