CORNISHMAN (4) started favourite last time out over 1m in stakes class at Sunland Park (Dirt) but found one better, making it two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Has a strong record here with two wins so expected to go close. LONESOME BOY (2) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. The extra journey should play into his hands. One of the better chances. SPENARD (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 3. 5 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. RIVERSIDE (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
