PLAY SMARTER A fairly useful sort in bumpers, HURRICANE MITCH didn’t go without promise in a pair of hurdle outings over shorter this time last year. The type to be suited by the increase in trip now handicapping, he gets the nod to come out on top in a first-time tongue tie on the back of a wind op. Tip Top Cat, Bean In Trouble and Sienna Royale are others to consider in the opener.
