GJR VETCH (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1f80yards at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. It doesn't get any easier but with added fitness he is capable of testing his rivals. MEXICAN RUNNAWAY (4) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Lone Star Park six months ago. One of the leading chances. DESIRIOS GAMBLER (1) is returning from a lay-off of six months. Finished seventh at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 1½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Roberto G Madrigal. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. SPOILED N SPECIAL (7) resumes from a lay-off of seven months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1f180yards at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
