BEACH RUNNER (7) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Ruidoso Downs. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. WE NEED MARKETING (3) finished second two runs back at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2.75 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. INDIAN NIGHTS (6) scored last start at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) to make it two wins and two placings from four starts this campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. OTTOMAN EMPIRE (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 5½f. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
