Tim Fitzsimmons’ pick between a feature or a Class 3 path for Raising Sixty-One will be guided by his first-up run in the $70,000 Class 3 race (1,400m) on Feb 24.

The five-time winner (thrice over 1,700m and twice over 1,600m, all on Polytrack) has not been seen since his second to Bestseller in the Group 3 Colonial Chief Stakes (1,700m) on Dec 2.
