Multiple Group 2 winner O DONOVAN ROSSA (7) missed the placings last time out over this distance at Listed level at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts three wins and two placings. Likely to feature. Group 1 winner MARKUS AURELIUS (6) finished second over 3f213yards at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 20. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. Group 2 winner JESS RITE (4) finished second last time out over 3f213yards at Retama Park, beaten 6 lengths. Major contender. Group 1 placegetter ROCK YA LATER (5) has accrued five minor placings from seven runs this campaign. Continued the trend last start when third over 3f213yards at Retama Park (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
