MISTER MINGO (5) surprised many last time when a close fourth over 1f130yards at Zia Park (Dirt). Among the leading chances. ROYAL TEMPTING (9) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 1f180yards at Zia Park (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the ability to figure prominently. RUN SILENT (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 0. 5 lengths when fifth in a 1f130yards contest at Zia Park four weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. FIRST ROYAL HINT RB (7) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent outing over 2½f at Zia Park (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest.
