GOOD GRIEF (9) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 0. 1 lengths, over 1f130yards in stakes class at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Will take catching. EXPENSSIVE BOOTS (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 1. 75 lengths when seventh in a 1f180yards contest at Lone Star Park six-and-a-half weeks ago. The engagement of Noe Jr Garcia is noteworthy. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. TRAIN STATION TOURS (3) closed last prep six-and-a-half months ago when he finished fourth over 1f130yards at Ruidoso Downs. Best figures have him right in the mix. MAKO SHARK WATTERS (1) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of 12 weeks and looking to emulate his win at Sam Houston Park to kick off the last campaign. Top-three claims.
