Retama Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn
JV TALKIN COWGIRL (5) could only manage fifth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 229m at Sam Houston Park, beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. CHANTELLE LACE (7) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when half a length away in second over 320m at this track (Dirt). Good chance to break through. PUCKER UP DARLIN (2) is a first-starter by Kiss My Hocks from the stakes winner Nellie Cashman who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. VICTORIA ESPECIAL (4) was never in contention last time over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) when she finished ninth, beaten 4 lengths. In the mix.

Two-year-old filly (Kiss My Hocks - Nellie Cashman) making her debut. Nice profile and a bold showing is expected.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on June 11 over 229m, 4 len behind Racey By Design carrying 56kg at $16.80. The run before that 7th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 16 over 274m, 3 len behind Queen Stone carrying 56kg at $14.90. Swooper to watch for late in the piece.
