HARD TO POLITIC (3) last appeared when successful by 0. 3 lengths over 1f130yards at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt) eight months ago, the only time he went to the races last prep. Lining up. For the first time for trainer Samuel Mendoza. Juan Pulido who has three wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. IMA FANCY EYE OPENER (6) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of four months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. CARDIAC COWBOY (2) turned in a fair effort in Group 2 grade at Zia Park (Dirt) over 1f130yards at his last run 12 weeks ago, finishing sixth and beaten 1. 1 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. MYSTIC PAINT (9) lines up for the first time since December 14. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1f31yards at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.
