Sunland Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
SMOOTHWHSKYGOINDWN (1) Was competitive when 2nd last run around here and has the ideal gate. Should come to hand quickly. Looks well placed. ESKIMO CHARLIE (2) Managed to run into 2nd last run at the track and has a good draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Hard to overlook. WASTED WARRIOR (6) Resumes after a break. Pushed past some when 5th last time at Santa Anita. First appearance for a new trainer. Jockey Alfredo J Juarez Jr is highly regarded. Won't be far away. LION THRONE (5) Ran 4th last start here. Has plenty of early speed. Could surprise at odds.

Back from a break. At 11/2 crept into 5th last time at Santa Anita. Coming to a new trainer. Alfredo J Juarez Jr is a smart booking. Winning chance.
