Race Tip
E J WON THE CUP (3) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Del Mar (Turf) two starts back before finishing fourth over 6f at this track (Turf) last time. Terrific chance to break through. DE' MEDICI (1) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 6f at this track (Turf) after he got a long way back in the run. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. DADDY JUSTIFY (7) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished sixth over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 7 lengths. Cannot be dismissed. MONGOLIAN MAX (2) stepped out on his debut over 6½f at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 15 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
