Race Tip

Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes winner BRIGHT FUTURE (2) is back from a break of seven months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 1m2f in the G1 Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita (Dirt). Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is among the leading chances. ARTORIUS (3) was a dominant winner last time at Aqueduct (Dirt) over the same distance. Goes well at this distance with two wins and a placing from four starts and shapes as a key contender. Group 1 winner SHIRL'S SPEIGHT (4) returns from a lay-off of nine weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1m in the G1 Makers 46 Mile Stakes at Keeneland (Turf). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. COASTAL MISSION (8) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 6f in the G3 Maryland Sprint Stakes at Pimlico (Dirt) four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. In the mix.
