Lone Star Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Trials
ROYALIST (1) is a five-time winner who has been racing in great heart, scoring by 0.8 lengths last time out over 366m at Retama Park. Has a strong record at this journey and should go well again. FAVORITO CARTIER (4) was too good for a maiden field last start over 302m at Sandy Ridge (Dirt), scoring by one length. Nicely placed to double the win tally. PRIZE TIME LELO (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 8 when beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth at Retama Park (Dirt) over 366m after being in contention on the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COWETA CORONA (9) comes back in class after finishing 1.4 lengths away in fifth over 320m in Listed grade at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Can figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: DI FDD DANCER (8)

Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 8 at Retama Park on August 20 over 402m, 1.75 len behind Elemyntal with 56.5kg at $6.10. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Retama Park on July 25 over 366m, 0.6 len behind El Rey D with 56.5kg at $2. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 8 at Retama Park on August 20 over 402m, 1.1 len behind Elemyntal carrying 56.5kg at $5.10. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Retama Park on July 17 over 366m, 1.1 len behind Dm Chilianna carrying 56.5kg at $3.80. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
