Race Tip

QUEEN'S CODE (2) finds it hard to win with just one success from 14 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 6½f at Santa Anita. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. COACH CRONIN (4) has returned in good order this campaign. Ran well but found one better last time over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) after registering his maiden win when resuming the run before. Winning rider Armando Ayuso sticks. Fitter and is expected to feature. PASS THE BATON (6) is back at the races for the first time since March 9. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Golden Gate Fields. Has found the right race and is worth including. BEER MONEY (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in 11th over 6½f at Los Alamitos. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
