HELD FOR RANSOM (2) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 4.5 lengths win over 1207m at Zia Park (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. GONE GREY (7) is back at the races for the first time since September 24. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1006m at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Arturo Chavez. Should be hard to stop. HOSER SATRAPA (3) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by half a length over 1106m at Zia Park (Dirt). Looks well placed and he is one of the main chances. STACKERS (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at Zia Park, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. The engagement of Luis Ramon Rodriguez is a positive move. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
