Zia Park Race 8

Claiming

Stake: -

ALWAYS ON CAY (1) Gave away some ground when 8th last time at Albuquerque Downs. Should improve and have to respect the form at this trip. Shows good early pace. Facing less formidable opponents. Won't be far away. CAMPFIRE CREED (6) Moved ahead of some to finish 5th last run at Albuquerque Downs and dropping in grade. Will be around the mark at odds. FLEETRIDGE (5) Shot away to win by a margin of 4 1/2L last time at Albuquerque Downs but competing at a higher grade. Will be positive in the run early. Could run a race. HALO RANDO (2) Couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Albuquerque Downs but gets a favourable draw. First start for a new trainer but up against a more competitive field. Worth a look and is a rough hope.

Weakened to finish 8th last time at Albuquerque Downs. Should improve and suited at this trip in the past. Expecting to settle positively. Competing in a lower grade. Strong prospects in this race.

Faded to finish 5th last time at Albuquerque Downs but drawn nicely. Coming to a new trainer but up against a higher level of opposition. Possesses good finishing speed. Looks optimistic.

Advanced late into 4th last time at Albuquerque Downs and competing in an easier class. Jockey Miguel A Perez and trainer Daniel Hernandez work well together. Tough race will need luck.

Dominant winner by a margin of 4 1/2L last time at Albuquerque Downs but matched against tougher rivals. Should muster plenty of early toe. Hard to see finishing out of the placings.
