Sunland Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

BEARINGS (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 25. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Saratoga. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BENDER (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. LISTENTOTHEMUSIC (4) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. WHAT A DUDE (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Capable of featuring prominently. Something for the Multiples: COUNT DRACULA (2)

Second-up. Comes off a 50-day let-up. First-up after two months ran last of 9 at this track on January 4 over 1308m, 8 len behind Magical Mark carrying 56kg at $53.20. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at Fairmount Park May 13 over 1106m defeating Durango Chrome with 56kg at $9.60. Needs more time.
