Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
SIR HOLLYWOOD CARTEL (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only a nose over 229m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LYSIUN (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 274m, beaten 0.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with three placings from four starts. Sure to run well. SIZZLIN HEARTS (8) is back at the races for the first time since October 3. Scored over 274m at Delta Downs at the start of last prep. Has switched to the Jorge Luis Muniz yard. Can make his presence felt. WK JODYS DOWN N DASH (3) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 320m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.6 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
