Sunland Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
AXTON (4) scored when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from six starts. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts him right in this. BYE BYE LIAM (2) last appeared when seventh over 905m at this track (Dirt). Steps out over more ground now off a five weeks freshen-up. Can bounce back. TOUCH OF GLAM (5) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and should be involved in the finish. EPIC BATTLE (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run ten weeks ago when he scored by 4 lengths. Among the better hopes. Something for the Multiples: MAGICAL MARK (7)
