Retama Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
RCV BLUE FIRE (1) has not appeared since racing on the speed on debut and finishing second over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) on April 30. Sure to have improved over the break and should be in the finish again. C SHES LUCKY LADY (6) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 402m at Sam Houston Park, beaten a neck after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CARTELITO POOL (7) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 366m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) on May 28 after he got a long way back in the run. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MUDDYS BANDIDA (3) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 402m. Can measure up.
