Sunland Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
JMS TEJANO (11) closed last prep five months ago when he finished fifth over 320m at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino. Leading player. MOON CANDY (5) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 302m at Zia Park (Dirt). Good chance to break through. KVNDASHINGCLARET (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 366m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is one of the key runners. ALL ABOUT BE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 320m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
