Race Tip

OPTICAL (9) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1m at Kentucky (Turf) on September 5. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. GOLDEN ICE (1) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths over 6½f at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Has ability and looks sure to measure up. REB (11) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at Ellis Park, beaten 2.2.5 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. G ERIK (8) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Improver worth including.
