ARLIE (4) is resuming from a lay-off of seven months and having his first run for the Salvador R Soto yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt) over 1f180yards. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. A POLITICAL SIGN (8) registered his first win last start over 1f80yards at Sunland Park (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Brian Cobos Barraza was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. SOMEWHERE OUT WEST (5) wasn't far away last time at big odds, finishing second over 1f130yards at Sunland Park (Dirt). Definite danger again. YOUWANTMEAPOLLITICAL (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 10 when beaten 4.5 lengths into ninth at Sunland Park (Dirt) over 1f180yards. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
