Lone Star Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
AWESOME ROAD (3) has switched yards since resuming with a win over 1308m at this track. Did score at this stage when last in work at this track over 1308m. Racing for the first time under a new trainer Martin Valdez-Cabral (Jnr). Nicely placed here and expected to go well. AXTON (8) kept coming only to just miss as favourite last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Should be near his peak for this. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. WORTH LOOKING (2) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by a nose over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN (4) returns from a spell of 12 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1609m when first-up last time in work.
