Zia Park Race 9 - Hobbs America Derby Invitational S. Invitational Stakes
KJ BORN TO BE WILD (2) is a five-time winner who has been racing in great heart, beaten a nose into second last time out over 402m at Lone Star Park. Well placed and looks hard to beat. DR PEPPER 123 (4) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 402m at Group 1 level at Lone Star Park (Dirt), beaten 0.9 lengths. Has scope for improvement so he is among the leading chances. JS FREIGHTRAIN (1) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 366m in stakes class at Lone Star Park (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so she can play a big role. PAVEL (8) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 402m in Group 1 class at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
