Honest race when 3rd last start at this venue. In strong racing shape since coming back from a break. Jockey J Barajas is a plus. Has a good chance.

Started at $4.50 and ran 5th last run at this track. Has the potential to improve sharply. L Aburto is highly regarded. Definitely worth considering.

At $26.00 was nothing special when 8th last run here. G De Jesus and V Martinez are consistently competitive when paired. Hard to see it being good enough.
