Race Tip

LA NORME DE JOUR (6) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 1.5 lengths into second at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Promising type with improvement to come so he will prove tough to beat. EQUATOR (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 5½f at this track (Turf). Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. DIRECT STRIKE (11) is a two-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by Into Mischief from Day Of Victory. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of B H Cox. Promising type who can make a positive start to his career. ALPYLAND (10) finished midfield last start on debut over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 13 lengths when well in the market. Top-three contender with that run under the belt.
