Race Tip

AMPERSAND (4) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished seventh when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track (Dirt) then improved and scored as public elect over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. LEAD OFF (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Useful type who gets his chance. SKIMBLE SHANKS (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 11 lengths when fifth in a 6f contest at this track two weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. COPPERHEAD CREEK (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 2.75 lengths over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
