Zia Park Race 6

Claiming

Stake: -

PRIVATE EQUITY (1) First up from a break of 10 weeks and was agonizingly close first up last preparation at Albuquerque Downs. Will appreciate a good barrier. Competing in a higher grade. Respect. STAND UP GUY (4) Resuming after a break. Disappointing outing when 7th last run at Albuquerque Downs and matched against tougher rivals. Todd W Fincher stable are on fire recently. Can measure up to this company. HARDTOBLAME (6) Dashed home to win last start at Albuquerque Downs but up against tougher opponents. Alfredo J Juarez Jr is a key engagement. One in a race with many chances. BISHOP CREEK (2) Managed to finish 2nd beaten by 4 1/2L last run at Remington Park and will try to take advantage of the gate. Always seems to find the line well. Worth a ticket.

Attacked the line when 2nd last run at Remington Park and has a positive draw. Has good finishing speed. Very competitive this preparation but facing formidable opponents. Strong claims.
