Race Tip

SAUDI CROWN (6) pennsylvania Derby winner. Is having his first run since March 30. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds at the start of last prep. Can return in winning form. MR WIRELESS (2) multiple Group 3 winner. Stuck on well to finish second last start over 1m1/4f in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths when resuming as favourite. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. INJUNCTION (8) Placed in a Group 3. Went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1m1/4f in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. RAISE CAIN (10) grade 3 winner. Showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over this trip at Listed level at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the talent to take care of this field.
