Race Tip
PASS IT AROUND (7) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Zia Park but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 39 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. STELLA BOY (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 6½f at this track five weeks ago. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. SMILING RULER (2) finished second, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent at the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of a big performance. SAGA (3) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Expecting to see him turn things around.
