Crooked River Roundup Race 7 - Bud And Gloria Simonis Memorial S. Stakes
SECRET SAGA (2) has two wins and one placing from three starts this preparation. Found a couple better last start in stakes class at Grants Pass (Dirt) over 1207m. Jose Antonio Figueroa gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. This is a suitable assignment and he can take this out. GENERAL THAYER (4) finished second when resuming two runs back in stakes class at Grants Pass (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1006m at Grants Pass (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running another bold race. PASS THE CROWN (5) went forward over 1106m at Listed level at Grants Pass (Dirt) last time but found a couple better. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to his name. Should be involved in the finish. SIMONSITO (1) was beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1106m contest at Grants Pass at his latest appearance. Well placed to bounce back.
