Race Tip

DRINKUP BUTTERCUP (5) started at 7/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 17 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Has the class to produce a better result. SHELBY SHORTSTOP (3) is returning from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Finished fifth at Parx (Dirt) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Candice S Cryderman. Key runner fresh from a break. LASSIE CAT (2) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to come on when sixth over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HOT LAVA CAKE (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11 lengths from the winner in seventh over 6f at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
