Lone Star Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming

DONEGAL FREEDOM (4) placed as favourite last time over 1408m at Sam Houston Park after he had won two races on end. Key runner who can make amends. PINKY RING BLING (3) turned in a modest performance when third last start over 1408m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a good first-up win at Sam Houston Park. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this circuit. Nicely placed to return to winning form. CAWKAB (8) got well back over 1408m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 11 lengths away in seventh. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. WORTH LOOKING (2) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1408m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at Sam Houston Park at the previous outing. In the mix.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up won by 1.5 len at Sam Houston Park February 21 over 1308m defeating Brock On By carrying 55kg at $10.50. Second-up 3rd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on March 28 over 1408m, 6 len behind Derby Date with 56kg at $28.60. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1609m.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on March 28 over 1408m, 1.5 len behind Derby Date carrying 56kg at $1.50. The run before that won by 6 len at Sam Houston Park March 15 over 1609m defeating Rivetage carrying 56kg at $3.80. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Comes off a 40 day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on March 8 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Bobby Brinkley carrying 55kg at $7.50. The start before that second last of 7 at Delta Downs on February 19 over 1308m, 13 len behind Solidify with 53kg at $12.80. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
