Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
ROCKET TEMPTATION (5) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) following a minor placing at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 302m the run prior. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. ZENITH ZTORMI (6) was lining up for just the second time last start when fifth over 229m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Significant rider change today with Claudio Ponce Aguilar going on. Looks the one to beat on her debut performance. CINDERELLA WATTERS (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 320m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the ability to take care of this field. LICKADEE SPLIT (7) lines up on the back of a one length fourth over 274m at Sam Houston Park. Capable of playing a big role.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Sam Houston Park May 14 over 302m, 2.25 len behind Dracula with 56kg at $24. On debut fourth of 9 at Louisiana Downs March 20 over 274m, 2 len behind Jrs Mucho Speed with 56kg at $13.60. Solid top-three proposition.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 5th of 10 at Sam Houston Park on May 22 over 229m, 0.9 len behind First Tartanero Jess with 57.5kg at $6.30. Second-up ran second last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on June 12 over 274m, 2.25 len behind Red Hot Racha carrying 57kg at $9.20. Would be better placed in something easier.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last of 10 at this track on June 25 over 320m, 5 len behind Vp Cowboy Heart carrying 56kg at $28.40. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.
