Retama Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn
MY CLASS CARTEL (3) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 229m at Sam Houston Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLOODWORK (5) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 366m at this track, an improvement on his eighth at Sam Houston Park the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WAGONS BRAG (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 0.9 lengths when sixth over 302m at this track five weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHEROKEE STONE (2) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 320m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.

At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track on July 9 over 274m, 1.75 len behind Cowboy Cumbia carrying 56kg at $8.60. The race before that 6th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on June 4 over 302m, 2 len behind First Pyc Boston with 56kg at $46.80. Not far away last time but hard to have in this contest.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 10 at this track on July 10 over 320m, 11 len behind Denhawken with 56kg at $60.30. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by San Lorenzo out of Florentina Dash. Looks ready to run a big race.
