Sunland Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
LAUGH OF THE PARTY (10) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Likely to push forward from the wide draw. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. MONIKER (2) finished second two runs back at Zia Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 796m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. WALL STREET LOGIC (3) finished off the last campaign with a win over 905m at Zia Park (Dirt) on November 17. Returns from the break for a new yard. Outstanding first-up performer with three wins from four starts. Leading prospect. BLUEGRASS FAITH (4) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 796m at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on October 17. Among the main hopes. Something for the Multiples: WEDDING GROOM (7)
