Retama Park Race 6 - Trials
ONE MORE SUN (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) five weeks ago. Can measure up again. CATTY SIX B (3) broke her maiden last start over 274m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), scoring by a nose. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Gerardo Luna was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Capable of taking the next step. DNA (8) was safely held in tougher grade two back then appreciated the easier grade last time when third over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Finds similar grade here and expected to run well again. DRACO (7) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 302m. Settles back early but winds up late. Must be respected.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation sixth of 10 at Sunland Park March 30 over 302m, 3.5 len behind Sugars Tempting with 57.5kg at $3.10. On debut second last of 10 at Sunland Park March 17 over 274m, 2.5 len behind Eagle Aye with 57.5kg at $33. Not good enough for these.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; won by a 0.3 len at Sam Houston Park May 30 over 229m defeating Tempting Grace carrying 56kg at $2.90. Drawn perfectly and he is a top chance.
