NEXT STAR (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 08/12/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 16 lengths over 3f213yards at Zia Park (Dirt). Has switched to the Juan Hernandez yard. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. LOWDOWN DRIFTER (6) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a second last start over 1f130yards at Sunland Park after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. LOUISIANAPAINTWAGON (1) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish one length back in third over 1f130yards at Sunland Park (Dirt). Has the talent to go a couple better. HES MIGHTY PERFECT (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1f130yards at Sunland Park (Dirt). This doesn't look as hard so he can return to the winners' list.
