REAL THIRSTY (3) finished third last time out over 4½f at this track (Dirt), making it three career minor placings.Has a solid record here with three top-three finishes to his name.Nicely placed and expected to go very well.POCO DIABLO ROJO (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth over 4½f at this track two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner.This is a nice drop in grade so he can find the winners' list.PLENTY COUPS (4) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fourth over 5f at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic).Looks to be in the right race to play a big role.HECTOR'S HOSTAGE (2) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth in a 4½f contest at this track at his latest appearance.Finds a nice race and can make amends.
