Lone Star Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight

FAST CONNECTION (1) has been kept fresh since running below par last time, finishing ninth over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Can bounce back. GAME TIME DECISION (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1811m at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RENTON (3) is yet to break through after seven starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1811m at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Will drift back but wind up late. Finds a nice race and can measure up. SHOGUN (2) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Mindy Willis yard. Resumes after finishing fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at his last run 11 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Can run a bold race.
