Race Tip
AGATE ROAD (6) Group 2 winner. Drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 1.5 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1m at Listed level at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Stiffer assignment here but he is right in this. CHANGE OF COMMAND (9) has been low flying recently, lifting strongly to score over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) at the most recent appearance to make it two straight victories. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. PATRIOT SPIRIT (3) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 7f at Colonial Downs. Solid chance. COPPER TAX (7) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten weeks. At his last appearance he finished sixth over 1m1f in the G2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 14 lengths. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Don't underestimate.
