WINNING PATRIOT DB (2) has been freshened up since a disappointing eighth over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Best form is good enough so worth another chance. FRANCISCAN (1) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1f180yards at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. SPENZOR (8) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1f130yards at Zia Park (Dirt), beaten half a length. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. DONT BE SUSPICIOUS (9) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 8 lengths away in eighth over 1f180yards at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
