RED LEADER (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 1006m at Zia Park, beaten 4 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MISTER MAFIOSO (4) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1207m at Turf Paradise, an improvement on his sixth at Turf Paradise the run before. This is a nice drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. NEW MEXICO JEREMY (6) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1106m at Zia Park (Dirt). Will be tough to stop again. LAUGH OF THE PARTY (8) had been performing well until racing below his best last time when fourth over 1106m at Zia Park (Dirt). Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Don't underestimate.
