Group 1 winner JOOSE BOXX (1) scored last start at Group 1 level at Retama Park (Dirt) over 1f130yards after he was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from six starts. Has a high cruising speed. Will give a great sight. Group 2 placegetter TEMPTEDTOGOTOTHEBAR (5) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Did win at his only other when resuming run when on debut, scoring over 1f31yards at Sam Houston Park. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. LITTLE VAQUERO (8) finished 1.1 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 2f. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Luis Martinez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. POWW POWW (4) dug deep to win by 0.3 lengths two runs back at Retama Park (Dirt) then finished sixth over 1f130yards in Group 2 class at Retama Park (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. Can sneak into the finish.
