BROWNSTONE (8) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1m at Zia Park (Dirt), beaten 15 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. WOOD CEILING (7) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing seventh over 1m2f at Group 3 level at Century Mile four-and-a-half months ago. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Best form puts him right in this. DAGGER RANCH (2) was never in contention when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh over 6f at Zia Park last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Prairie Meadows the run before. Karlo Lopez gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. MONEYSHOT (6) returns after a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
