Race Tip

PUBLIC DEFENDER (5) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement and she looks hard to stop again. OPERATION TORCH (1) is a five-year-old entire who is having his first run for the James J Toner barn. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Aqueduct (Turf) 14 months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Leading player expected to feature. KING'S RIVER (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1m1f at Laurel (Dirt). Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. COCKTAILS AT NOON (3) ran below expectations last time at Delaware Park (Turf) over 1m1/4f, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is one of the better hopes.
