ITSMYBIRTHDAY (4) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1408m in stakes class at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a major role. AMOROSA (9) found plenty to score by 2.25 lengths three runs back at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. BERTANI (7) is a talented gelding who was tested in tougher class last time when seventh over 1811m at Listed level at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. ELSTON GUNNN (5) has switched yards since scoring by 0.1 lengths at Assiniboia Downs over 1811m on September 16. Worth plenty of thought.
