Going: Firm
Surface: T
TONTERIA (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Turf) when beaten 5 lengths. Reunites with Calvin Borel which is a proven winning combination. Likely to feature. READY SHOES (1) has been safely held in tougher company at his last two runs, the latest in stakes class when seventh at Listed level at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Finds an easier assignment and is a winning hope. LIVINGSTON (7) finished 12 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7½f at Lone Star Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Right in this. CONTRABANDISTA (9) hit the frame two starts ago at Oaklawn Park but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
