GENERAL THAYER (7) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 5f at Turf Paradise (Dirt), scoring by 1. 5 lengths. Has been given a let-up of six weeks since that outing. Open to plenty of improvement and will be a tough nut to crack again. DISCREET TIGER (6) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 2. 5 lengths last time out over 3f213yards at Sunland Park (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is up to the task. RUNNINGINTHERAIN (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track (Dirt) over 4f124yards, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Has a good association with Oscar Jr Andrade with a run of three top-three results. Certainly one to consider. BILLY DE KID (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Sunland Park (Dirt) over 3f213yards. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
