KALAHARI (1) returns after nine months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1f180yards at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. JESS HIPS (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1f130yards at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to find some form. A GOOD REASON TO RUN (5) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 1½f at this track (Dirt). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. JLC SIMON SAYS RUN (7) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fourth over 1f130yards at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) five months ago. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
