SHINY NOVA (9) scored last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the bend. Form over this journey is strong, boasting 11 wins from 19 starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. JES RELENTLESS (7) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on February 4 over 320m when she got home by 0.3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. EYE AM TEMPTING (6) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 320m at Sunland Park, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. HES AUDACIOUS (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 302m on September 10. Under the care of new trainer Alex Garcia-Pena this prep. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.
