VINNY AND LEO (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 5½f at this track (Dirt). A repeat of the latest effort will see him in the finish again. MEXITEXAFORNIA (2) is a 12-start maiden who has been in the money six times. Could only manage fourth at the latest appearance over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this distance with three top-three results from four starts. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. LORD MARXMAN (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LEGENDARY STAR (3) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Jacinto Lopez. By Mobil from Girliano. Worth watching for a betting push.
