Lone Star Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
BOUNDLESS OPTIMIST (6) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by a nose over 1609m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf). Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. LUCKY N LAWLESS (1) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1673m at Fairgrounds. Looks to have an edge on most of these. DETTORI (13) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1308m at Lone Star Park, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. EXPO CITY (2) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1710m at this track, beaten half a length. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on May 1 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Baker Hayfield with 54.5kg at $13.80.
