Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Trials
LIMITES SIN B (10) was in the money two back at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) then met stiffer opposition last time when fifth over 320m in Group 2 grade at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed and is sure to be in the finish. SOARING LARK 123 (2) will find this easier than last start when eighth over 320m in Group 2 class at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), that effort coming on the back of a minor placing two back at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Better placed this time and can do much better. QUEEN STONE (8) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 274m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she is right in the mix again. SMOKE EM YOAKUM (3) recorded his first win last start over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), getting home by one length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Luis L Vivanco who was on board last start. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 7th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on April 17 over 302m, 4.5 len behind Natural Flyin Cowboy with 56kg at $10.80. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Sam Houston Park on June 11 over 229m, 1.0 len behind Smoke Em Yoakum with 56kg at $23.30. Happy enough to avoid.
