Race Tip

THIRD BEER (7) settled well back last start and made little impact in the straight when fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over this journey at Listed level at this track (Turf). Antonio Fresu gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Has the class to produce a better result. CRUISE HOME (9) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Santa Anita. Best figures read very well. CAN'T HELP MYSELF (3) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance in Listed grade at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1m on December 14. Among the better hopes. VENTRY STRAND (6) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1. 75 lengths over 6f at this track (Turf). Will be doing his best work late.
