Sunland Park Race 8 - West Texas Derby Derby
LONDON BRIDGE (8) made it three wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 366m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Luis A Valenzuela retains the mount. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. SHOT OF TAKILLYA (6) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts and looks a top chance. TRAXION (9) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. REGARDING JESS (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 366m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Should be about the money.

The run before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Zia Park on December 7 over 302m, 0.3 len behind Good Grief with 58kg at $3.10. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 2.5 len at this track February 7 over 366m defeating Shimmery carrying 57kg at $2.20. The start before that won by 0.8 len at Turf Paradise December 22 over 366m defeating Rr Sweet Memories with 56kg at $3.10. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
