SHORT ROUND BOUND (9) impressed when resuming then took on a much better race last time when fifth over 1m in stakes class at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Rates highly and can bounce back. KING OF COUNTRY (2) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6½f at Sunray Park. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. HE'S A GENIUS (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 19 when beaten 2. 75 lengths into sixth at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 5f. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. STAND UP GUY (7) returned from a lay-off seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 5½f at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
