Will Rogers Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
HIS WAY (2) was resuming from a spell of four months last start when a solid third over this course and distance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. WYLES (5) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1006m at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf). Among the chances while fresh. EL BANCO (1) is on debut. By Connect and comes from the Mike Abney stable. Top-three chance. TAKING A NAP (4) is a four-year-old gelding on debut by Smiling Tiger from Julie Napp who has been a prolific producer of winners. Promising type who is one to keep tabs on in the betting.

Four-year-old gelding by Connect out of Campbell's Class on debut. Purchased for USD $ 3,000 (Fasig-Tipton 2023 Kentucky October Yearlings Sale). Expect there will be plenty of interest from punters.

He is resuming after a three months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at this track January 12 over 1207m, 31 len behind Copper Magician carrying 57kg at $90.40. On debut ran last of 11 at Remington Park October 18 over 1308m, 54 len behind Autodrive carrying 53.5kg at $137.90. Might need the run.
