Retama Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
FC DANCER (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 229m at Gillespie County Fairground after being prominent at the turn. Will enjoy a drop in class so she will be hard to beat. RUSTIC CHIC (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 320m at Gillespie County Fairground, beaten 2.25 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MAKE MY DEBUT GL (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 302m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into ninth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is one of the main contenders. STRIKE MY FANCY (1) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at his latest appearance over 366m at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Sam Houston Park May 7 over 274m, 3.5 len behind Til We Run Outofroad carrying 56kg at $6.30. On debut ran last of 10 at Sam Houston Park April 25 over 302m, 6 len behind Jet Two Is Armed with 56kg at $20.10. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
