Race Tip

BURNINHUNKOFLOVE (5) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Joe Sharp yard. Hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Lone Star Park (Dirt) three months ago. Not seen at the trials but has a very good when resuming record. Can kick off with a win. APPEAL DENIED (3) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fifth over 6½f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. SIR OLLIE (7) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 6½f at Ellis Park, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at Ellis Park at the previous outing. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. IMPROBABLE STORY (1) led for much of the way before fading right out of it late to finish 5 lengths adrift in fourth at Belterra Park (Dirt) last time out. Can feature in the finish.
