Retama Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Trials
RUSE MAN CRYSTAL (10) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 274m at Remington Park. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. BUCLE BUNNY 123 (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 302m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into sixth. Has the ability to take care of this field. MISTER CARTER (4) broke through for his maiden win over 320m at this track (Dirt) last time. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Garcia Rosendo E Pina stays aboard and he is right in the mix again. LIL BOLT OF FIRE (9) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 320m at this track (Dirt). Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: GOING NUCLEAR 123 (8) A FLASH OF PAINT (2)

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at this track on July 2 over 320m, 2.75 len behind Rocking Cowboy with 56kg at $12.20. The race before that came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at Sam Houston Park May 16 over 274m defeating Lil Ferrari Wagon carrying 56kg at $4.20. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
