Retama Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance
WHO WANTS TOO FANCY (5) resumes for a new yard after finishing in the money over 366m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) at the last appearance on May 7. Goes well when resuming from a spell, including two minor placings from three starts. One of the main contenders. EL PRINCPE CARLOS (6) has returned in good order this campaign. Collected his maiden win first-up at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) then backed it up with a solid third over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) at the latest outing. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and will be ready to run a big race today. CHOLULA SINN FEIN (2) recorded her first win last start over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), getting home by half a length. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade. CALL ME DIAMANTE (8) broke his maiden last start over 274m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Re-unites with Jose Ramirez (Jnr) who was on board last start. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
