Solid tempo set by Victory At Omaha and More Mischief. HOOLIGAN TOMMY (2) trades weight for experience with a senior rider back on and loves a mile. Hard fit horse hard to hold out on recent efforts. CITY LIMITS (5) returned in sharp form first up and no issues with the added trip. Genuine threat despite the weight hike. TIP TOP TIMING (7) isn’t getting any younger but boxed on well here last start. With a roll forward draw has minor claims again. RHEGION (6) is only lightly raced but tackles tougher. Senior rider retained a good pointer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hooligan Tommy win.
