Race Tip

THE BLACK STRAT (2) ran below expectations last time at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) over 1m, finishing fifth and beaten 3. 5 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expecting a bold showing. WOOD CEILING (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 3 lengths when fourth in a 6f contest at this track three weeks ago. Has the talent to find the winners' list. BACKGROUND (3) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four appearances this prep, finishing 1. 3 lengths away in second most recently over 1m at this track. Don't underestimate. BROTHER O' BRIEN (4) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance nine months ago. Can make his presence felt.
