Race Tip
TRUSTY RUSTY (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when second over 6f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. Group 3 placegetter WINDRIBBON (1) started at 9/2 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at Turf Paradise over 6f. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. WINE AND WHISKY (2) is returning from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Finished fourth at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) over 5½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Librado Barocio. Can make his presence felt. Group 3 placegetter TULANE TRYST (4) finished a 26 length seventh on dirt at Sunland Park in a. Switched to turf last time at this track over 1m and again missed the frame, finishing a 4.5 lengths seventh. Good record at this journey with four wins and five minor placings from 13 starts and cannot be underestimated.
