Race Tip
Dubai Golden Shaheen winner SIBELIUS (7) is back at the races for the first time since March 30. Scored over 7f at this track to launch the last campaign. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. OCTANE (5) grade 3 winner. Led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 7f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Emisael Jaramillo who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Leading contender. Set Weights IRVIN (1) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance when when resuming from a layoff last start. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to cope. Group 3 placegetter RUN CLASSIC (6) returns after a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has recorded two wins when when resuming from a break. Has to be respected.
