Lone Star Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
TAKE THIS CITY (1) finished 0.9 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1106m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Blinkers added so the stable might have him peaking today. BREAKER WAVE (5) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1609m at Lone Star Park Turf (Turf) on April 19 after she was well back on straightening. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. FAITH'S SPIRIT (12) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Will need a good ride from S Elliott off the awkward draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GOLDEN PURSUIT (8) is a 15-start maiden but does look to be edging towards a win, the latest effort an encouraging third at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m after being in contention on the corner. Has the class to take this out.
