Race Tip

MERCANTE (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1m1/2f in the G3 Arlington Handicap at this track (Turf). Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. BRILLIANT BERTI (7) is racing well, scoring in a at Listed level at this track (Turf) before finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1m1/2f in the G3 Arlington Handicap at this track (Turf). Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. MI HERMANO RAMON (3) fought on well to finish second last start over 1m in the G1 Shoemaker Mile at Santa Anita (Turf), beaten 0.3 lengths when fresh from a lay-off. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. LAGYNOS (2) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing third over 1m1/2f in the G3 Arlington Handicap at this track (Turf). Has a fair record at this trip with a win and three minor placings so he is among the chances.
