Sunray Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
ADIEL (3) comes in with strong credentials, winning his last two at Sunland Park over 1308m and 1106m, including a last-start victory by 1L in allowance grade. SAMBAS MARK (1) is a key chance after a last-start win at Sunland Park over 1106m, beating PROBATE (5) by 1.5L. LEAVE THEM BEHIND (6) has been consistent, winning three of his last five, including a 2.75L win over 1308m two starts back. Probate (5) also warrants respect, having won two starts ago and finishing 2nd to Sambas Mark (1) three back. MCTHANKS (2) resumes after a year but was a last-start winner at this trip and track. These runners shape as the main contenders based on recent form and proven performances at the distance.
