LAUNCHED (5) went fast early and went on to score by 7 lengths last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. POPS AWESOME (4) started at 6/1 last time on the back of a win at Arapahoe Park (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 5f at Arapahoe Park (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can make amends. MISTER BEAMS (7) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Jesus J Uranga stable. Finished off last campaign with a win at Remington Park (Dirt) 12 weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but has filled a minor placing two times from four runs when resuming. Should feature in the finish. PARTY FOUL (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Record at this trip is excellent and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
