Retama Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
CHILE PIQUIN (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 302m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. WHO WANTS TOO FANCY (2) is fresh from a spell of 11 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 366m. In a different yard now. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. GOLIATH STONE (4) produced a reasonable effort when fifth last start over 366m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at Sam Houston Park the start prior. Gilberto Linares gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. CHOLULA SINN FEIN (6) broke her maiden last start over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), scoring by half a length. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.

The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on May 29 over 366m, 0.3 len behind Perry Bogart carrying 56.5kg at $6.10. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 51 day letup. First-up ran on from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at Sam Houston Park May 2 over 366m defeating Going For Gold with 56.5kg at $7.80. Second run from a spell 7th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on June 4 over 320m, 1.1 len behind Uncle Shorty carrying 56.5kg at $9.10. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Second run back. First-up after two months sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track on June 27 over 366m, 1.4 len behind Otts Moore with 57kg at $13.20. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Remington Park on April 19 over 366m, 1.4 len behind Pevs Sweet China with 56kg at $7.20. Should progress from that first-up run.
