Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
ELEMYNTAL (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 201m at Gillespie County Fairground, beaten 1.1 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. THE FISCAL CHICK (2) looks close to a win, the latest effort a strong second, beaten 0.1 lengths, over 320m at this track (Dirt). One of the chief chances. GRAND CHARMING ELAN (6) finds it hard to win with just one success from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when tenth over 302m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 3 lengths. Has the class to feature in the finish. NIKOS (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 320m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
