Race Tip

HOLDING THE LINE (6) returns from a lay-off of seven months and did win when resuming last time in work over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Looks set to run well. MUSICAL MAESTRO (8) tackling the synthetic for the first time. On his return from a brief layoff. Kicked off the last campaign with a seventh at Aqueduct (Turf) over 6f. Strong chance to launch the campaign with a win. ROCKETEIGHTYEIGHT (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. MIDNIGHT STORMY (9) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths over 7f. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
