Retama Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

MAN HES HANDSOME (8) broke through for his maiden win over 229m at this track (Dirt) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he looks certain to measure up again. JESS VITAL GL (6) was thereabouts last time out when second at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 229m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Top chance. DASHING CHILITA (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Will push forward and is among the chances. CANDY SCHEME (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 366m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
