Retama Park Race 11 - Tqha Classic S. Stakes
KAS PRIETITO (8) was a dominant winner last time over 366m in Group 2 class at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), getting home by 2.25 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. KADILLAKING (5) has not appeared since he saluted over 320m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) on May 7. Sure to make his presence felt. NINE ONE WON (2) has three placings from six appearances this campaign and last start finished 0.4 lengths from the winner in third over 320m at this track (Dirt). Capable of testing this field. DM CHASING MONEY (4) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a sixth, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 320m at this track (Dirt). Takes on tougher opposition this time but is among the better hopes.
