TARY (4) finished ninth over 1f130yards at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 14. Rates highly and should take some beating. EYE ON KIA (7) has switched yards since finishing ninth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1f80yards at Zia Park. Leading hope who should be tough to stop. Solid top-three chance for the new barn. DAMIANNS ROCKET (2) got well back over 1f180yards at Zia Park (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 4.5 lengths away in ninth. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. FABULOUS OSCAR (3) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1f130yards at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt). Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Don't underestimate.
