Sunland Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
GOOD LOVIN (9) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. BLUE CHEESE OLIVE (3) recorded another success last time over 796m at this track (Dirt) making it two straight wins this campaign. Extra trip suits and on recent form will go well again. TEDDY'S TRIUMPH (1) is a distance specialist who is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fifth at Turf Paradise (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 0.8 lengths last time out over 796m at this track (Dirt). The engagement of Luis A Valenzuela is noteworthy. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is all set to build on that latest effort. TSUNAMI GOLD (4) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Likely improver with winning claims.

Returns from a 61-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 11 at Zia Park on December 9 over 1106m, 4 len behind Roll Penny Roll carrying 56kg at $6. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Zia Park on November 18 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Tsunami Gold with 56kg at $11.40. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on January 4 over 1308m, 2 len behind Good Lovin carrying 56kg at $7.70. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Zia Park November 18 over 1006m defeating General Thayer carrying 56kg at $5.60. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 7 at this track on January 9 over 796m, 2.5 len behind Moniker carrying 58kg at $4.50. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on September 14 over 1207m, 15 len behind Loco Luna carrying 54kg at $10.10. Unlikely to threaten.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 7 at this track on January 18 over 1308m, 2.25 len behind Cat Gamer carrying 56kg at $4. Before that won by 2 len at this track January 4 over 1308m defeating Tsunami Gold with 56kg at $1.05. One of the chief contenders.
