Race Tip

IL CAVALLINO (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when seventh over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Should be peaking now and is a great chance to break through. MATINEE IDOL (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Churchill Downs (Dirt) before finishing 1. 3 lengths away in second last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Leading contender. PURPLE HEART (3) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 0. 9 lengths, over 6½f at Delta Downs. Has solid credentials. WIZARD OF YESTER (2) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 6 lengths to spare over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Solid claims on best form.
