NIGHTINSHININGARMOR (10) was far from disgraced when sixth last start over 1f180yards at Zia Park, beaten 1.75 lengths after he made late ground. That followed a win at Lone Star Park the start prior. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. FASHION BLOOD (7) was last at the races when she finished seventh over 1f130yards at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) on October 28. Comes here with definite claims. HES MIGHTY PERFECT (3) resumed four weeks ago over 1f130yards at Zia Park and was only beaten 0.1 lengths into ninth after being prominent at the turn. Won't find this as tough so he can make amends. NOT TODAY KAREN B (5) settled well back last start and never threatened when ninth over 1½f at Lone Star Park (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Forgive the last run in the mix.
