Golden Slipper Tips: Amorino will be the longest priced runner when they jump on Saturday and doesnt look like he has the class to figure in the race, not a horse you should include in any of your multiples. He has drawn barrier 2 which will allow him to get a rails run during the race. He goes into the race at $101 in Golden Slipper Betting and he looks like he will be well outclassed in the Golden Slipper 2012.
