Race Tip
ELUSIVE DREAM (1) has been in the money 13 times including last start on May 19 when third over 7f at this track. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three eight times. Won't get too many better chances to break through. BIG PLAYER (2) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on November 25 and finished 11th behind Zipaway over 1m in the G2 WA Guineas at Ascot. Backmarker who keeps coming. Leading contender. KERMELIA (7) finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at York. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. LET IT WIN RUPERT (5) is returning from a lay-off of five months. Finished ninth at Ascot over 5f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Steele Casey. Fitter for a seventh in a recent trial over 4¾f at Lark Hill.
