Race Tip
SHAMAYIM (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when eighth, beaten 11 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/4f. Worth noting E Valdez-Jiminez goes aboard. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. FLEET OF HOOF (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 22 lengths when eighth over 6½f at this track two weeks ago. Has the class to produce a better result. COUSIN LARRY (7) was safely held when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Settles back early but winds up late. Winning claims on best figures. AMERICAN CODE (8) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten just 1.75 lengths. No surprise to see him in contention.
