Retama Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance
UNCLE SHORTY (3) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by a nose as favourite last time out over 320m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. BLASTED EAGLE (10) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 229m in stakes class at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Cherry-ripe now and is expected to do much better. FAVORITE LOVE SONG (7) produced a reasonable effort when third last start after being prominent at the bend over 302m at Sam Houston Park, beaten half a length. That followed a win at Sam Houston Park the start prior. Finds a suitable assignment and can return to winning ways. JESS DRIVE (2) impressed first-up then took on a much better race last time when sixth over 366m at Group 3 level at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Fitter and worth another chance.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 48-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Sam Houston Park on May 30 over 302m, 0.5 len behind Klass Action with 58kg at $7.80. The race before that won by a 0.3 len at Sam Houston Park May 15 over 274m defeating Uncle Shorty with 58kg at $12. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
