Lone Star Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Optional Claiming
ELEMYNTAL (4) is a last-start winner over 402m at Retama Park (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a nose. Sure to run well again. THE CARTEL MASTER (8) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 320m at Delta Downs, beaten only 0.2 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. NSM EDDY THE EAGLE (5) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 320m at Retama Park (Dirt). Racing well and he should be in the finish again. VP ROCKET RYON (1) raced below his best last time when eighth over 503m at Retama Park (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by a nose at Retama Park on August 20 over 402m defeating Chilitos Movin Money carrying 56.5kg at $2.30. The start before that 4th of 10 at Retama Park on July 18 over 302m, 2.25 len behind El Derecho with 56.5kg at $14.80. Can get the job done again.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Retama Park on July 17 over 320m, 1.3 len behind Jess Drive carrying 58kg at $12. The race before that ran last of 10 at Retama Park on June 26 over 274m, 0.9 len behind Bailleys with 58kg at $10. Going well enough to take this out.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Not raced for 48 days. Resuming from last on the turn ran last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on May 29 over 320m, 2.75 len behind Fdd El Jefe with 56.5kg at $23.70. Second run from a spell sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Retama Park on July 25 over 366m, 1.3 len behind Apollitical Lelo with 56.5kg at $23.30. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
