B A CHAMPION (3) clung on to finish second last start over 6½f at Sunland Park (Dirt), beaten 0.1 lengths. E P Gomez gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. ARTFUL CRITIC (2) started at 3/1 last time on the back of a win at Sunland Park (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 6½f at Sunland Park (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. MONIKER (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 6f at Sunland Park (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. HOLLYWOOD TIZ (7) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 6f at Sunland Park, beaten 13 lengths, after a win at Sunland Park at the previous outing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
