RACY COWBOY (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1f130yards at Zia Park, beaten 2.25 lengths. Strips fitter and can take care of this field. ZEE VALIANT HERO (12) finished out of the placings latest when fourth over 1f180yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) but has a senior go aboard this time. Rates strongly and can break through here. EMPTY TEMPTATION (1) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 1f130yards. Among the leading chances. PURA CALIDAD (4) finished 2.75 lengths away in seventh at her last appearance over 1f130yards at Zia Park (Dirt) on November 16 after she was well back on straightening. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
