Retama Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
FABULOUS CHANEL (4) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 320m at Sam Houston Park, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. FORTUNISTA (10) is a four-start maiden who finished tenth at her most recent appearance over 320m at this track (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. LONELY MACHO (7) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 1.75 lengths from the winner in fifth over 274m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Fitter and worth including. SAY WHEN COWBOY (3) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at his latest appearance over 229m at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Worth plenty of thought.

Second-up from last on the turn ran last of 9 at Sam Houston Park on June 4 over 320m, 3.5 len behind Soaring Eagle 509 carrying 56kg at $25.70. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 44-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Sam Houston Park on June 11 over 320m, 1.3 len behind Illegally Blonde Gl carrying 56kg at $8. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 29 over 320m, 1.5 len behind Megamillion Gl with 56kg at $3.90. Working up to a win. Worth following.
