Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn
JESS HOT MESS (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better in stakes class at Fair Meadows (Dirt) over 320m, beaten 0.6 lengths. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with three placings to her name. Should be hard to stop. SHEZ A SMOKESHOWW (8) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 366m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 229m the run prior. Should be in the mix. DREAMSCAPE (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 366m at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. CHECKOUT SHALA (2) is building towards her maiden success, the latest effort a solid third over 320m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Big chance to grab a well-deserved win.

Second-up. First start ran last of 8 at Sunland Park on March 20 over 274m, 15 len behind Cyber Up carrying 56kg at $8.80. Returned from break ran second last of 9 at this track on July 17 over 229m, 5 len behind Karlees Kool Wagon carrying 56.5kg at $26.10. Unlikely to threaten.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fifth of 9 at Delta Downs May 21 over 320m, 2.5 len behind Sheza Innocent Girl with 56kg at $23.70. On debut ran last of 9 at Delta Downs April 30 over 302m, 4 len behind Krs Dream with 56kg at $12.70. Certainly one to consider.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 9 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on June 27 over 366m, 5 len behind Locked In carrying 56kg at $9.70. The run before that ran second last of 7 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on May 23 over 320m, 3 len behind Kj Macho Man with 56kg at $5.90. Deserves another chance.

Was at long odds at debut, 7th of 9 at this track on July 17 over 229m, 1.75 len behind Pocket Fulla Money with 56kg at $43.40. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start 6th of 9 at this track on June 26 over 366m, 2.5 len behind Betrueagle carrying 56kg at $18.40.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran second last of 8 at Sam Houston Park on May 15 over 302m, 2.5 len behind Princess Halona carrying 56.5kg at $19.20. Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at this track on June 26 over 229m, 1.2 len behind Tempted To Fly carrying 56kg at $13.50. Happy enough to avoid.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Fair Meadows in LR on July 18 over 320m, 0.6 len behind Flyindwntheturnpike with 57.5kg at $10.70. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Fair Meadows on July 2 over 320m, 2.5 len behind Collective Power carrying 57.5kg at $6.30. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
