Race Tip

Multiple Group 3 winner SKELLY (3) was an impressive winner last time over 6f in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), scoring by 2.2.5 lengths to make it two on the bounce. Goes well at this journey with 10 wins and three placings from 14 starts and should be hard to stop. Group 1 placegetter TEJANO TWIST (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing seventh over 7f in the G1 Churchill Downs Stakes at this track (Dirt) last start. Key runner on his best form. ANGKOR (4) scored an impressive win by 4.5 lengths when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to feature in the finish. Group 1 placegetter HERE MI SONG (8) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
