Race Tip
GLOBAL STAGE (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) but could only manage fourth, although only 2.25 lengths from the winner. Should be prominent from the low draw. Best form puts him right in this. READIER (13) returned from a break of two months with a solid second last start at Gulfstream Park (Turf) over 5f when he was up on the pace all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Poses a significant threat. PATRIARCHAL (9) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MIDNIGHT AMBITION (3) fought on for third last start over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten one length to add to some fine recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
