Race Tip

EMPIRE SKY (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 17 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 5½f at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. RICHARD AVE (3) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish eighth over the same trip at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Has the talent to find the winners' list. NOSTALGIA'S SMILE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. NEW YORK STRONG (7) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance ten months ago. Has never been out of the money in five starts here including a win. Lines up. For the first time for trainer claudio a gonzalez. Can make his presence felt.
