DURANGO JESS (1) scored a narrow win last time over 3f213yards at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) on October 25. Gets some weight relief this time so he is worth following up. HIT THE SEAM (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 5½f at this track, beaten 23 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WE NEED MARKETING (8) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Can feature again. COYSTER (2) started at 9/4 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track over 5f. Top-three chance.
