Lone Star Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
FAIR HOPE (7) brings the best recent figure after a close 2nd at Oaklawn over 1207m, beaten 0.5L when leading and only collared late, and his prior 3rd there reads well. FLAT OUT BLESSED (3) has repeatedly hit the frame at the trip, including 3rd at Oaklawn over 1207m, beaten 3.3L, and maps to be on speed with blinkers on. GAME RUNNER (4) has local placings at Lone Star and could improve back to this track. WHY NOT HIM (6) was 5th at Keeneland over 1710m, beaten 4.8L on debut, and the drop in trip may suit. PINE TREE ROCKET (2) showed early speed before fading to 5th at Oaklawn over 1207m and can be prominent early.
