Race Tip

TWENTY SIX BLACK (2) is a eight-time winner who has been racing in great heart, scoring by 2. 75 lengths last time out over 5½f at this track. Races well here and is a major contender. DONCHO (3) was an impressive winner last time over 5f in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf), scoring by 2 lengths to make it two on the bounce. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. JOHN THE BEER MAN (6) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 5½f in the G1 Jaipur Stakes at this track (Turf) nine weeks ago. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Should be involved in the finish. WARALO (5) scored last start in Listed grade at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
