Tin Cup Chalice S. Stakes

Stake: -

PLAYINMINDGAMES (5) Controlled the pace to win by a margin of nearly 7L last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Has shown early pace in races to date. One of the top hopes. BAJAN SUGAR (6) Romped home to win last time at this track and good career start. Exhibiting good form this preparation and form has been improving over recent runs. Up against stronger rivals. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. SILVER KNIGHT (4) Was competitive when 2nd last time at the track but stepping up to a higher level. Will be competitive. COLUCCI (2) Resumes from a break. Dashed home to win last run at Presque Isle Downs and having second career run. Racing over a longer distance. Gets a favourable draw. Not out of this.

Finished strongly when 3rd last run at this track and drawn beautifully. Keiber J Coa and M Anthony Ferraro are a strong duo. Up against a higher level of opposition. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.

Fresh after a break. Charged home to win last run at Presque Isle Downs and was on debut last time. Drawn nicely. Rising in trip. One that represents value at a decent price.

Jumped at $12.00 and outpaced some runners late when 5th last run here but up against tougher opponents. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Struggle to recommend.

Finished with purpose when winning last time around here and putting a tidy record together. Running with confidence this preparation but challenged by more formidable competitors. Major player who should go very close.
