Race Tip

JAMES FITZJAMES (3) is a five-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1m3/4f at Scottsville. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CORAL CREEK (5) will find this a little easier than his second on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 0.8 lengths at the end of 5f at this track. Will benefit from that experience so he should pay to follow. HAT HOT HAT (1) is yet to break through but has been in the money five times including last start when second over 6½f at this track. Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. HOME REEF (6) stepped out for his debut over 6f at Kenilworth back on April 20 and finished tenth, beaten 20 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
