Sunland Park Race 4

Bill Thomas Memorial S. Stakes

Prize Money: $142,653

RYVIT (4) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 0.8 lengths. The testing material. CLOVISCONNECTION (1) is having his first run since November 8. Goes well when fresh with three wins and two placings from six starts. Capable of playing a major role. AUGUSTA MELODY (3) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by half a length last start over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Certainly one to consider. NEIMAN (5) improved last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.

Most recently won by 0.5 len at this track LR January 18 over 1207m defeating Neiman with 56kg at $5.70. The start before that struggled in the run home; ran last of 7 at Remington Park on December 20 over 1207m, 10 len behind Ryvit with 54.5kg at $4.70. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
