Race Tip

Group 1 placegetter DISARM (1) comes here off a break of nine months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at Oaklawn Park. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ALEJANDRO (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Parx, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. BABA VOSS (4) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 1m1f at Keeneland (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. Group 3 placegetter HOWLING TIME (2) returns from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when eighth over 7f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and a minor placing from four tries. Has to be respected.
