Will Rogers Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
EL BANCO (1) 4yo first starter by Connect for trainer Mike Abney and has drawn to do little work. Watch betting. TAKING A NAP (4) 4yo debutant by Smiling Tiger for trainer J Alan Williams. Watch the market. HIS WAY (2) Despite fading at the finish still placed 3rd last time at this venue and gets a favourable barrier. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can win this. WYLES (5) First run back after a 29 week spell. Underperformed when 6th last time at Canterbury Park. One for the exotics punters.

4yo first starter sired by Connect for Mike Abney and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Respect the betting.

Even though being overrun still grabbed 3rd beaten by 1L last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Commands respect.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $11.00 and not competitive when 12th last start at Remington Park but having second race start. Looks too tough.

First up from a 29 week break. Disappointing display when 6th last time at Canterbury Park. Rough chance today.

Racing fresh today after a break. Started $53.00 and weakened under pressure when 6th last time at this track. Might be ridden for luck. Hard to see it being good enough.
