Sunland Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
SPOONIN SHUGA (9) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track 11 weeks ago. A bold showing is anticipated. FLAQUITA (6) has been in the placings four times from 14 outings. Last start finished ninth when fresh from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three three times. Has the ability to take this out. RUNAWAY ROSE (3) is having her second run after she failed to threaten on debut last time, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Better for that hitout and is one of the main contenders. LOVE N BE LOVED (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and must be included in calculations.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 11 at this track on February 16 over 1308m, 17 len behind Fear The Cruise with 56kg at $86.50. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Second run back. First-up after three months 9th of 12 at this track on March 8 over 1207m, 10 len behind Directed Runaway with 56kg at $20.20. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Zia Park on November 4 over 1207m, 11 len behind Unbridled Beauty carrying 56kg at $16.20. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
