Race Tip
R HEISMAN (3) was well held over 1m in the G3 Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita (Turf) last time out. Reunites with J J Hernandez who has never missed the frame from three rides, including two wins. Sure to run well. I'M A BAD BOY (4) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at his last two, the latest over 6½f at Santa Anita (Dirt) winning by 2.5 lengths. Races well here and among the leading chances. SHEA BRENNAN (5) finished third last start over 6½f at Santa Anita (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. STYLE CAT (8) started at 3/1 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at Santa Anita over 6½f. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the better hopes.
