Race Tip

TAKESCHARGESMILING (3) went forward last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GATSBY (1) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 6½f at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. RITHM NIC (10) turned in a strong run two starts ago at this track (Dirt) then failed to back it up over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Coming back in trip suits so is capable of a lot more this time. MACAW (7) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 0.1 lengths at this track and trip last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
