Sunland Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Trials
LITENIN (4) reunites with Saenz Jorge Nieto after scoring with ease over 320m at this track (Dirt) last time. Key chance here and looks tough to beat again. FAUST (9) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 274m at this track. Has found a suitable race. RING OF FYRE (8) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 320m. Has the talent to take care of this field. EXPENSSIVE BOOTS (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 0.3 lengths back in second over 302m at Zia Park (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Turf Paradise on December 22 over 366m, 1.5 len behind London Bridge with 56.5kg at $15.80. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Turf Paradise on November 29 over 366m, 0.5 len behind Pegaso Marengo with 57kg at $19.50. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.
