Lone Star Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Optional Claiming
HARDLY SHINING (2) is on a quick turnaround after a solid third over 320m at this track (Dirt) eight days ago. Strong run last time and should be in the finish. MM BLOWN AWAY (5) could only manage fifth over 320m at this track (Dirt) last time out but is unbeaten in two third-up runs. Fitter and deserves another chance. CHECK OUT JESS (6) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a nose last start over 274m at this track (Dirt). Another bold showing expected. FLIES LIKE AN EAGLE (4) finished fifth over 366m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at this track on November 5 over 320m, 0.6 len behind The Fiscal Chick carrying 57kg at $3.60. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track on October 17 over 274m defeating Check Out Jess with 57kg at $2.60. Went close last time. Leading player again.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start 8th of 10 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on October 3 over 320m, 3.5 len behind Tintero with 58kg at $35.30.
