Race Tip
SMARTY NOSE (2) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fourth last start, beaten 2.5 lengths over 5f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Looks the one to beat on his debut performance. AS LUCK HAPPENS (6) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the corner at this track (Synthetic), finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths starting at 11/4. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. ONE BIG SMILE (1) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 5f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. JAIME'S COMMITMENT (12) has filled a minor placing on three occasions in five starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fifth over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Among the chances.
