Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn
POLITICAL MONKEY (9) just missed last time when a nose away in second at this track (Dirt) over 229m. Winning chance. CHICAGO STONE (2) disappointed when 6 lengths back in tenth last time over 320m at this track (Dirt). Kept fresh for this. Capable of a lot more. GOLDMINE CREEK (6) was always well out of her ground when 3 lengths from the winner in ninth over 229m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FUTURE FLYER (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 366m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on June 25 over 320m, 1.0 len behind Vp Cowboy Heart carrying 56kg at $21.90. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

At the latest run from last on the turn ran last of 9 at this track on July 17 over 229m, 3 len behind Pocket Fulla Money with 56kg at $3.60. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 8 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on May 23 over 320m, 2.25 len behind A Noble Cowgirl carrying 56kg at $4.80. Finds the right race to bounce back.

Recent form sound. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at this track on July 17 over 229m, nose behind D Texas Cowboy 123 carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on June 27 over 302m, head behind Dangit Frank with 56kg at $5.70. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out.
