Race Tip

KUPUNA (1) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1m1/2f in stakes class at this track (Turf). Has race fitness on his side now. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. LAGYNOS (4) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep in the G3 River City Handicap at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1m1f on November 8. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from seven starts and is among the leading chances. CAMEO PERFORMANCE (5) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a third at Listed level at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1m when he was beaten 3 lengths. Great chance to grab that well-deserved win. IDRATHERBEBLESSED (3) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 0. 8 lengths over 1m1/2f in stakes class at this track (Turf). Has never been out of the placings in four starts at this journey and is not to be discounted.
