Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

BIG CONTRACT (6) Resuming after a spell. Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Remington Park. Expecting to settle positively. Deserves consideration. RUN LIKE DA DEVIL (5) Although getting tired late still grabbed 3rd last run here and has been racing in stronger company. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can win. DETERMINED (3) Didn't find the line when 5th last time here. Happy to forgive that run and competing at a lower level of competition. Proven runner at this distance. In the mix. DAZZLIN DRAMA (1) Couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last start at the track. Overlooking the last run and stepping down to a lower level. Strong each way hope.
