CAPITAL JOKE (3) did a great job to score by 0.3 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. BENDER (1) returns from a lay-off of ten weeks after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1m at Zia Park (Dirt). Leading contender. MASTERING (2) fought on for second last start over 1m at Turf Paradise (Dirt) when he produced a huge finish, making it two minor placings in a row. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MONGOLIAN KINGDOM (7) improved last time out, finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at this track. Suitably placed so he can be prominent again.
