Race Tip

PALADIN (4) returns from a ten weeks break after closing last prep with two wins on end, the latest over 1m1f win in the G2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt). Hard to deny. GOLDEN TEMPO (2) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 1m1/2f in the G3 Lecomte Stakes at this track (Dirt). Kept fresh for this and looks the testing material again. CHIP HONCHO (5) missed the frame last time when fourth in the G3 Lecomte Stakes at this track (Dirt). That followed a run of two wins on end. Rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be in the finish. UNIVERSE (1) ran well below his best last time over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths into seventh at 9/4. Blinkers go on so he must be respected.
