SHELL GAME (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 3f213yards at this track, beaten only 0. 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. HYNSON (2) returns from a lay-off of ten weeks after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 3f213yards at Zia Park (Dirt). Can pick up where she left off. BART SIP SOME (9) finished third at Zia Park two runs back but was less effective last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 7 lengths back in seventh. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. WESTERN GRIT (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 4f124yards at Los Alamitos Qh. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
