APURO (5) is close to a win after a string of recent placings, the latest when second over 5½f at Zia Park (Dirt). Top contender. ANGEL FROM ABOVE (7) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. FAUZETA'S FLAME (10) has been kept fresh since running below her best at the last run five weeks ago, finishing fifth over 3f213yards at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Capable of testing this field. JYSTINE (1) is back after a break of ten weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 3f213yards at Zia Park (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.
