TIP TOP THOMAS (7) is a talented colt who has been in the money at both appearances. Is at the races for the first time since he finished second over 1m at Aqueduct on October 5. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. GUNMETAL (9) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame after two starts, including a win. Has not been produced since he finished third over 7f at Gulfstream Park on February 1. Nice class drop this time. Among the leading chances this field. THRILLA (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt) with this rider Jim Graham engaged. Must be respected. RETRIBUTION (2) scored on debut last start over 6f at Fairgrounds on 15/02/2025, finishing 1.3 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. One of the better chances.
