Sunland Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
OUR VALENTINO (2) resumes from a spell of eight months and is having his first outing under new trainer Justin R Evans. Finished seventh at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 1207m at the opening run last time in work. Rates highly and can return in winning form. PEEKAY (1) finished second two runs back at Zia Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). E P Gomez scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. GHOSTLY CHANCE (4) drifted back early when resuming last start and could only manage a 9 length seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Leading chance on best form. GEORGE WHO (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.

Recent form sound. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at this track February 9 over 1106m defeating Colfax Kid with 56kg at $4.10. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Zia Park on December 9 over 1308m, 0.3 len behind Just Keep Laughin with 55kg at $1.90. Hard to beat again.

Back from a long spell. Finished off last campaign ran last of 7 at Lone Star Park on June 27 over 1207m, 15 len behind Ducale carrying 56kg at $20.30. When resuming last campaign second last in a small field at this track on March 27 over 1207m, 4 len behind Jed with 56kg at $3.10. Should be right in the finish.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start second last of 7 at this track on February 8 over 1609m, 14 len behind Spinning Black with 56kg at $8.30. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Zia Park on December 8 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind Diabolical Storm carrying 55kg at $10.60. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
