Race Tip

Group 3 winner BATTEN DOWN (3) has been freshened up since a disappointing fifth over 1m2f in the G1 Travers Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) four weeks ago. Key runner on his best efforts. REAL MACHO (5) finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m at Colonial Downs six weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Solid top-three chance. MUGATU (4) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Parx. Can give this a shake. Group 3 winner HADES (6) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when third over 1m in Listed grade at Colonial Downs (Dirt). One of the contenders.
