MUCHO ZMOKE (8) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in three runs this time in, the latest at this track (Dirt) over 796m. Kept fresh for this and looks the testing material again. LITTLE MOON DAWG (7) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Must raise the bar but another win beckons. MENDEL (9) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 796m at Zia Park (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. EL VITAL (6) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Zia Park 11 weeks ago. Oscar Jr Andrade who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the top-three hopes.
