Albuquerque Race 4

Con Jackson S. Claiming Stakes

Prize Money: -

KIRBY DERBY (7) Was eating up the ground late to win last time around here but facing formidable competition. First race for a new trainer. Always seems to find the line well. Should be right in the finish. PLEASEUSETHEPORTAL (5) Reeled them in to win last start here but matched against a stronger field. Has shown early pace in races to date. Exhibiting good form this campaign. Key player. CANDY'S CHROME (1) Well beaten when 8th last run around here but has the ideal barrier. Challenged by a tougher grade. This field suits. WINNING BIG (4) Tidy run when 2nd last start at this track but competing at a higher level of competition. Definite claims.

Disappointing run when 6th last start at this venue but will try to take advantage of the barrier. Struggling this campaign and matched against tougher rivals. Rather have another day.

Reeled them in when winning last time here but facing a stronger group of contenders. First appearance for a new trainer. Can go through the gears. Strong chance to be considered.
