COCO RAVIN (6) was 3.5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1f80yards at Group 2 level at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Backmarker who keeps coming. Expected to prove tough to beat. JL EL BOMBERO (3) is on debut for the Juan Jr Diaz stable. Two-year-old gelding by Tf Heza Firefighter from Royale Sixth Sense. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. MORETHANMEETSTHE EYE (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1½f at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten half a length. Will benefit from that experience so she is among the leading chances. SLV 956 (5) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths over 1½f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver worth including.
