OL' MCCLINTOCK (1) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 3f213yards at Ruidoso Downs. Comes here with definite claims. RUNDOFT (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is a key runner. HAM SANDWICH (4) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 5½f at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he will prove hard to beat. MISTER WU (9) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, over 6f at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and must be respected.
