Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn
ABSOLUTES CARTEL (5) wasn't far away on debut last start over 320m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Big chance based on that effort. TALEGO STONE (6) was beaten just 0.3 lengths last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 229m. Looks close to a win. ONE PYC FANCY (7) was solid on debut last start when beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth over 320m at this track (Dirt) on June 25. Don't underestimate. MOONLIGHT ON ACES (8) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 320m at Sunray Park (Dirt). Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
