Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
JESS VITAL GL (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 229m at Sam Houston Park, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. LJR (10) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 229m at Sam Houston Park, beaten only one length. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. DELEON BAY (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when sixth in a 366m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HALEYS LIL EAGLE (8) was beaten 1.5 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break in a 229m contest at Sam Houston Park five-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Sam Houston Park May 28 over 302m defeating Hypnotik with 58kg at $9.90. The run before that ran last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on April 30 over 229m, 6 len behind Sadie Sweet Watters with 58kg at $46.90. Might just find this a bit too tough.
