DEFENDING CHAMP (5) is a five-time winner who has been racing in great heart, beaten half a length into second last time out over 1f180yards at this track. Races well here and is the testing material. DEVILS TOWER (2) is back at the races for the first time since August 6. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1f180yards at Ruidoso Downs. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Has switched to the Juan G Aleman yard. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ASTRONOMICAL 123 (6) finished fourth last time out over 1f180yards at this track, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Sure to measure up. GIMY A REASON (1) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1f80yards at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects.
