Sunland Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
AMERICAN SECRETS (1) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a head into third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. BYE BYE RUSS (6) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Settles close to the speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. RAIL RUNNER (4) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1609m here last time. Warrants plenty of respect. FIGHT MONEY (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 3 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on March 2 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind American Knight carrying 56kg at $3.20. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on February 8 over 1308m, 3 len behind Green Is The Daddy carrying 56kg at $3.60. Worth following up.

Four-year-old colt (Spirit Of The Nile - Honey Do It) at the races for the first time. Prefer to see under race conditions.
