This looks a suspicious class drop for Vegas Attraction, who was winning more valuable races than this last year, while Cataroux landed a double at last year’s Spring Meet here but hasn’t raced since May. Valid Decision has been thereabouts at Houston recently though will need to be quickly away from a wide draw and BIG GUY IAN is preferred. The latter hasn’t threatened in a couple of outings at Fonner Park so far this year but looks to have an easier task in this and may well come good again today.
