BPTHEVALENTINEHERO (8) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 2f at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Launched last prep with a minor placing at Gillespie County Fairground over 1f80yards. Set to return in style. MR JESS JANWAY (10) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1f130yards at Zia Park (Dirt). Good chance to break through. PEVS RUNNIN BEAR (11) got well back over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 9 lengths away in ninth. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. ZENETO (12) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 3.5 lengths away in sixth over 1f130yards at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
