Retama Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn
SOARING LARK 123 (9) was out of the placings last time when eighth over 320m in Group 2 class at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) but did finish in the money the start prior. Looks well placed here and expected to feature. LEAVING YOU CAMBRIA (3) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 320m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. THE BAY FLYING 123 (8) is yet to break through after four starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 320m at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can measure up. DREAM TO FLY (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 229m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Third race start. First start ran second last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on April 17 over 302m, 7 len behind Cowboys Flying carrying 56kg at $39.60. Returned from break ran last of 9 at this track on July 2 over 320m, 5.5 len behind Chilito carrying 56kg at $39.30. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start 3rd of 10 at Gillespie County Fairground on July 4 over 229m, 1.1 len behind Shimmyshimmy Shine carrying 56kg at $13. The start before that 5th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 22 over 274m, 2.75 len behind Dtf Cotulla Cowboy with 56kg at $4.80. Can't recommend.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 6th of 10 at this track on July 2 over 320m, 3 len behind Whoopie Cowgirl carrying 56kg at $42. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 9 at this track on June 26 over 229m, 2.75 len behind Lethal On Monday carrying 56kg at $26. The race before that 7th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 28 over 229m, 1.75 len behind Pink Jett with 56kg at $28.10. Hard to make much of a case.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 50 day let-up. Last start 4th of 10 at Sam Houston Park on June 11 over 229m, 1.5 len behind Racey By Design with 56kg at $15.20. The start before that 4th of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 15 over 302m, 2.5 len behind Diamond 123 carrying 56.5kg at $18.90. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 9 at this track on July 2 over 320m, 3.5 len behind Coronas First Cowboy with 56kg at $48.90. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Sam Houston Park on May 29 over 229m, 2.25 len behind Ali Catt with 56kg at $14.60. Will be hard to hold out.
