BACKDOOR ROYALTY (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AUSTIN CRUISE (6) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1609m at this track. Deserves a win and should do much better this time. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT (7) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Among the leading chances. STRAIGHTAWAY (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 10 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Jose L Alvarez stays aboard. Best figures stack up.
