Race Tip

EMPEROROFTHEDARK (1) was well fancied last start over 5f at this track (Dirt) when seventh, beaten 10 lengths. Can bounce back. ROYAL MAHOGANY (5) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2 lengths, at this track (Turf) over 4½f. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. BEYOND THE BEND (2) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to make an impact when sixth over 5f at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. WIZARD WILLIE (6) finished seventh over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on April 23. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
