Sunland Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
PANUCO (1) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. The one to beat in this line up. HELLO HOT ROD (2) is a eight-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Dick Cappellucci yard. Finished off last campaign with a win at Remington Park (Dirt) 12 weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Leading prospect. ROCKS A BLACK SUIT (5) was well fancied when resuming but found one better at this track (Dirt), finishing half a length adrift at the end of 1308m. Will appreciate the extra ground. Expected to be in the finish again. KIRBY DERBY (6) is resuming from a spell of ten weeks and having his first run for the Dick Cappellucci yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 1609m.

Second-up. First-up after two months got back early 8th of 11 at this track on February 8 over 1308m, 7 len behind Touch Of Glam carrying 56kg at $41.20. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by a nose at Fairmount Park May 31 over 1609m defeating One Way Home with 57kg at $5.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Gelding back from a spell of ten weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign second last of 7 at Zia Park December 15 over 1609m, 6 len behind Vinniebob with 56kg at $3. When resuming last campaign third of 9 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino September 10 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Barossa with 54.5kg at $11.40. Can run a good race despite the gap between runs.

Most recently settled back and ran on when 6th of 11 at this track on February 8 over 1308m, 7 len behind Touch Of Glam with 56kg at $17.70.
