RIDGEHEAD (4) settled back on debut last time out but wound up strongly in the run home to finish third over 5f at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. DESERT GRACE (5) debuted two-and-a-half weeks ago and was well supported when she finished fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. EMOTIONAL RUNAWAY (12) was in the money two starts back at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 14 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SALSA AMERICANA (10) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 11 lengths into fifth at her latest appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Looks close to a win and worth including.
