ALSTARR (6) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Eric Valenzuela barn. Finished off last campaign with a fifth at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Leading prospect. LOUIE CARTEL (10) returned last time with a solid third at Zia Park (Dirt) over 320m. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. LUCKY LODI (3) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten half a length, over 320m at Zia Park (Dirt). Improver with a solid top-three chance. INDIS CARTEL (7) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten 0.3 lengths, at Zia Park (Dirt) over 366m. Can continue the good form.
