Race Tip

BUSINESS MODEL (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 5 lengths. I Ortiz Jr gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Taking on a better field but he is fitter and capable of running a bold race. HARVARD (3) was well in commission last start over 1m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Has a win and five minor placings at this journey from eight starts and should be in the finish. NIKOLAOU (1) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2 lengths over 1m1/2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. One of the main contenders. PAYNTER'S CANVAS (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 17 lengths into eighth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
