MUCHO ZMOKE (8) made it three wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 0. 3 lengths over 3f213yards at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Francisco Amparan retains the mount. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is one of the key runners. JESS A OUTLAW (5) returns from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 3f213yards at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Has three wins from four starts at this circuit. Right in this. LITTLE MOON DAWG (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 1. 75 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MENDEL (9) went forward over 3f213yards at Zia Park (Dirt) last time but found one better. Eugenio Alberto Jr Navarrete has been in the money at the last three rides. Deserves respect.
