Race Tip
FORTISSIMO (1) is in a purple patch of form with his fourth straight win coming last time out over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Huge chance again. WIN HERBIE WIN (8) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt). Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. SUPERWOLF (3) started at 3/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 6f. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. BOOTS MALONE (6) ran below expectations last time when seventh over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt) but may appreciate the longer journey here. Rates well on previous form and worth another chance.
