Will Rogers Downs Race 8 - Welder S. Stakes
ROYALAMERICAN (6) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1106m at this track (Dirt). David Cabrera who has three wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. DREWTONIAN (2) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1207m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Effortless winner last start and is a winning hope again. RUNAROUND ROWDY (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a solid top-three hope. WESTERN MAN (7) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on January 13 over 1106m, 3 len behind C W Dazzle carrying 55.5kg at $16.10. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 10 len at this track February 10 over 1207m defeating Flat Out Luck carrying 55.5kg at $2.50. Going well enough to take this out.
