Race Tip
LEADER OF MEN (7) is close to a win after a string of recent placings, the latest when third over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). In-form eight-year-old gelding so this is his chance to grab that elusive victory. SPYCRAFT (5) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at Keeneland, beaten 11 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be right there at the finish. SHORTLIST (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 15 lengths, over 1m1f at Keeneland (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can find winning form. ONE FOR RICHIE (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Keeneland, beaten 17 lengths into sixth. Capable of featuring prominently.
