Sunland Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
JESSA FAMOUS BANDIDO (8) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 274m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Well placed and happy to have him on top. JMS TEJANO (12) is back from a spell of five months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 320m at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino. Best form puts him right in this. OCEAN ROAD (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 320m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to find some form. MY LADY IN LIGHTS (2) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth over 320m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around. Something for the Multiples: MARSHALL HOGAN (4)

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 10 at Lone Star Park November 15 over 320m, 4.5 len behind Rr Royal Lew carrying 57kg at $46.60. On debut second last of 10 at Retama Park August 8 over 302m, 7 len behind Tunda Mighty Bug with 56kg at $23. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
