ROYAL LINEAGE (1) lifted strongly to salute by 5 lengths three runs back at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Francisco Amparan who has two wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. COMFORT J BYRD (6) resumed two weeks ago over 6½f at this track and was only beaten 2 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter and sure to run well. SHAME ON WHISKEY (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SAPELLO SICARIO (3) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
