Albuquerque Race 8 - Casino At The Downs Thoroughbred Derby Stakes
DRIVING MONEY (4) Racing fresh today after a break. Rattled home nicely into 3rd last run here and promising career start. Luis A Valenzuela rates highly aboard and stepping up in trip. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. CASH WATERFALL (7) Looked outclassed when 6th last time at the track. Is capable of a resurgence and stepping back up in trip. Matched against tougher rivals. Has to be included. MARKA (5) Looked good when 2nd last start at this venue and getting better in recent performances. Todd W Fincher stable are on fire recently. Can take this out. AMERICAN SECRETS (2) Made up ground when 4th last start around here and has a good draw. Very tidy this preparation winning 2 from 4 starts but challenged by a tougher grade. Not out of this.

Improved late to finish 4th last start at this track and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Facing a stronger class. Could feature prominently.

First up after a break. Was strong late when 3rd last run at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Should jump out and bowl along. Will go close today.

Ran well when 2nd last start at this track but rising in grade. Todd W Fincher stable are running hot lately and showing improvement in recent outings. Capable of winning this.

Average at best when 6th last time at this track but going up in trip. Gets back and needs luck. Taking on stronger opponents. Can't have today.

Didn't attack the line when 6th last time here. Is capable of a resurgence and returning to a rise in trip. Competing in a higher grade. Chance and can measure up.
