ROYAL LINEAGE (4) turned in a strong run last time when second at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) just 10 days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Strong run last time and shapes as a major threat. SHAME ON WHISKEY (1) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 1. 3 lengths over 5f at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to run well again. COMFORT J BYRD (3) has not appeared since he finished tenth over 6f at Sunland Park (Dirt) on April 6. Has switched to the Dick Cappellucci yard. Worth plenty of thought. WATTS (5) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest eighth at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 5½f. Expecting improvement.
