M G ROJO LOCO (1) Disappointing display when 9th last time at Albuquerque Downs but has a nice advantage with a good gate. Should be swooping on the field late. Suitably placed in this race. KENTUCKY DREAM (4) Performed below standard when 8th last time at Albuquerque Downs but up against a less competitive field. Has a great burst of speed late. Must be considered. COMFORTAFTERCHAOS (6) Unimpressive effort when 8th last run at Albuquerque Downs. Should race on the speed. Winning hope. SHINY SHORES (2) Finished with purpose when winning last run at Albuquerque Downs and can find a nice position from the draw. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Not out of this.

Was ordinary when 8th last time at Albuquerque Downs but up against weaker rivals. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Strong claims in this.
