FAVORITE VALENTINE Z (6) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for third. Will be tough to hold out again. RUN BUBBA RUN (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 3f213yards at this track, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. SPANISH TRAVELER (2) got off the mark when resuming from a lay-off over 3f213yards at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Aldo Arboleda was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. ITS A NEW GENERATION (3) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second over 3f213yards at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
