HARKEN (4) returns from a lay-off of three months and is having his first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt) over 1f130yards. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. ROW BY ROW (5) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 1f130yards at Zia Park (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Should measure up again. LOVELY LADY MAE (6) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Bv Bridgette Cartel over 1f130yards at Zia Park, beaten 4 lengths into ninth. Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from three starts. Has to be respected. BIGG AL (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in eighth over 1f130yards at Zia Park. Well placed to turn things around.
