AWSOME CHARLIE (9) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths starting at 11/4. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TORREADO (10) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 9 lengths back in tenth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. AMERICAN SECRETS (7) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 5½f at Zia Park (Dirt). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. DASHING AMERICAN (12) was close to breaking through last time in work, closing the prep as favourite and finishing third at Zia Park (Dirt) before a 11 weeks break. Can pick up where he left off. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
