Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

THRILL AND FURY (2) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 796m in Group 2 class at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. YIPPEE KI YEY (7) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Group 3 level at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by half a length last time out over 796m at Group 3 level at this track (Dirt). Has the class to figure prominently. LOUISIANA MYSTERY (4) is going well, scoring by 0.1 lengths two runs back at Group 3 level at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) before finishing fourth last time over 796m in Group 3 grade at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Luis L Vivanco stays aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. HONDO HOCKS (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when sixth over 796m in Group 3 class at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.

Comes off a 40 day let-up. Last start ran second last of 7 at this track in G3 on June 27 over 796m, 11 len behind Yippee Ki Yey carrying 58kg at $6.30. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Sam Houston Park in G3 on June 13 over 796m, 0.1 len behind Louisiana Mystery with 58kg at $2.70. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
