Retama Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance
INSTAGRAM DIVA (1) went forward last start over 302m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has the class to play a significant role. MAID IN DA SHADE (3) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5 lengths behind Karma Cha Ching over 302m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. JVM CARDI B (6) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) with success as favourite over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) two months ago, getting home by one length after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. FDD CUPID (4) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.1 lengths over 274m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 44 day let-up. Last start made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track in LR on June 25 over 302m, 2.25 len behind Karma Cha Ching carrying 56.5kg at $3.90. Before that won by a 0.3 len at Remington Park May 17 over 320m defeating Rr Sweet Memories carrying 56kg at $2.30. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up ran second last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on May 30 over 302m, 2.5 len behind Klass Action carrying 58kg at $24. Second run from a spell from last on the turn ran last of 7 at this track on July 30 over 366m, 2.25 len behind Duke Watters carrying 59kg at $4.80. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

Comes off a 58 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.0 len at Sam Houston Park June 11 over 229m defeating A Higher Call with 56.5kg at $2.40. The start before that 5th of 8 at Sam Houston Park on May 21 over 366m, 2 len behind This Eagles A Leader with 56.5kg at $9.50. No reason she cannot salute again.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 10 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino in LR on June 13 over 320m, 5.5 len behind Capos Train Station with 58kg at $14.50. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on May 31 over 320m, 0.8 len behind Capos Train Station with 58kg at $6.10. Hard to make a winning case.

Mare back from a spell of eight months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second of 9 at Zia Park November 29 over 366m, a 0.1 lengths behind Eyes Jess Fast carrying 58kg at $1.80. Previously first up; fifth of 10 at Zia Park November 8 over 320m, 1.5 len behind Her Relentless Eyes carrying 58kg at $11.10. Should be right in the mix.
