Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
ROCKIN THE TRAIN (2) is a handy four-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished 0.8 lengths away in second over 320m in Group 3 class at this track (Dirt). Leading player. LIL PERRY WAGON (8) is racing in great heart and has two wins on end, most recently scoring by one length over 503m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Well placed in this easier race. Among the leading chances this field. FLYING LIL SASHAY (3) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 274m at Delta Downs (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten half a length. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. BAILLEYS (7) resumed over 274m at this track (Dirt) last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances.
