GABRIEL (12) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Zia Park but raced below expectations last time over 1½f at this track (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MOONEY COMES EASY (7) is returning from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Finished fourth at Sunray Park (Dirt) over 1f180yards at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer A Gonzalez. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. COURTIER (1) last appeared when successful by a nose over 1f180yards at Zia Park (Dirt) 12 weeks ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Makes plenty of appeal. SHEIN ON (2) is back from a lay-off of four months. Scored a good win at his only run last campaign at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 1f180yards. Among the better hopes.
