Zia Park Race 2

Stake: -

AMERICAN CHERUB (3) First up and improved to place when 3rd first up last preparation at Albuquerque Downs. Up against a more competitive field. Worth a bet. DREAM MONEY (5) First run back from a break of 28 weeks. Despite fading at the finish still placed 3rd last time at Sunray Park and competing in a less challenging grade. Definite winning chance. MARQUIS LIGHTS (4) Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd last start at Albuquerque Downs but competing in a higher grade. Displays good tactical speed. Running with confidence this campaign. Has to be included. SHEZA GOIN COMFORT (6) Backs up quickly. Finished well when 2nd last time at this venue and facing less formidable opponents. Back to a shorter trip. One in a race with many chances.

On a short back up. Odds of $36.00 and weakened under pressure when 9th last run around here but up against weaker rivals. Has drawn the rails. Down in distance. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run at Albuquerque Downs but will try to take advantage of the draw. Kelsi Purcell and Danny Morales deserve serious attention when combined. Keep safe.

First up from a spell of 28 weeks. Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last time at Sunray Park and goes down in grade. Should give plenty of sight.

Weakened to finish 6th last time at Albuquerque Downs but competing in a lower grade. Might have to make up considerable ground. Back to a shorter distance. Seems very unlikely.
