LET HIM BE (1) is a talented galloper with a very good strike rate who finished off last campaign with a win over 6f in stakes class at Zia Park (Dirt) on November 25. Has a strong when resuming record with one wins from two runs so a bright return looks on the cards. MARKING CANYON (6) made it two wins in a row last start when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Winning rider F S Valdez retains the mount. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. I THINK I'M HERE (8) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1m1/4f at Zia Park (Dirt), getting home by 1.3 lengths. Winning rider Alfredo J Juarez Jr retains the mount. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. DIABOLICAL STORM (4) built on a nice second two starts back at Zia Park (Dirt) with success as favourite over 6f at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
