Retama Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
ALERTED (8) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 366m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Improvement to come and this is her chance to break through. LIL BABY D (5) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage eighth last start, beaten 4.5 lengths over 366m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Looks well placed and is worth another chance. SUN RIVER (7) was narrowly beaten last start when third in a small field over 402m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, can figure in the finish. INDIAN CARTEL (4) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 366m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid prospects.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 28 over 366m, 2 len behind El Rey D with 58kg at $5.20. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Sam Houston Park on May 7 over 366m, nose behind Tres Waves carrying 58kg at $22.60. Close to a win. One of the better chances.
