Race Tip

POLITICAL TWIST (3) has switched yards since scoring by half a length at this track over 2f on July 11. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. MIDNITE SMOKIN (5) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1f180yards at Group 1 level at this track (Dirt) nine weeks ago. Has a strong record when resuming, including three wins. Record here is impressive with two wins from five starts. Should be in the finish. KING OF THE TIDE (4) finished third last time over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with strong prospects. EXPENSSIVE BOOTS (7) travelled in a rearwards position and didn't fire over 2f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Has the ability to figure prominently.
