Sunland Park Race 7

New Mexico Breeders' Derby Stakes

Prize Money: $245,787

BUY LOCAL (2) is putting together some solid results. Finished third in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 3 lengths last time out over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. CASH WATERFALL (4) won his maiden four runs back and looks poised to score again after placings at the last three runs, the latest over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Nice class drop this time. Major player. AMERICAN CENTURY (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago. Has upside and looks a key runner. WAREISTHELUTE (5) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.
