RIVER ROCK (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1f180yards at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. NEXT STAR (7) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fifth over 2½f at Ruidoso Downs (Dirt) four months ago. Under the care of new trainer Alfredo Gomez this prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CQ FEATURED FIRST (1) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1f130yards at Sunray Park. Looks a strong top-three prospect. CANCUN (2) last appeared six weeks ago over 1f31yards at Lone Star Park when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Julio Jr Pena stable.
