Sunland Park Race 8 - New Mexico Breeders' Derby Stakes
HOLY HANK (6) Flashed home late into 3rd last run around here. Placed at every start this preparation. Can go on with it. B BOLD CHARLIE (3) Ran on strongly when 2nd last time here and solid career start. Alfredo J Juarez Jr is highly regarded. Will be hitting the line strongly. One of the better chances. SHORT ROUND BOUND (5) Resuming from spell. Bold effort when winning last start at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Has a great burst of speed late. Good chance of threatening these. MOJICA (1) Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of 3/4L last time at this venue and drawn beautifully. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Can measure up to this company.
