Prize Money: $30,899

Q GOT HOPS (6) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. RIO DEL VALLE (1) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. TUG (2) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STAY FEARLESS (3) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Anthony Aguirre. By Tonalist from Courageous Angel. Top-three chance.
