Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Trials
PEACEMAKER RETURN (4) was in the money two back at Delta Downs (Dirt) then met stiffer opposition last time when fifth over 320m in Group 3 grade at Delta Downs (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Ideally placed to return to form. FEE TRAIN (6) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of nine months, his last appearance being a win over 366m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has a strong association with Luis L Vivanco who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. JESS GOOD AS GOLD (9) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 366m at this track (Dirt). Raul Padilla Jr Hernandez stays on. One of the contenders. DEL REY BAR (3) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 320m at this track (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.1 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success.

Is first-up after a break of nine months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation by 0.1 len Evangeline Downs November 21 over 366m defeating Royalist with 56kg at $14.20. Previously first up; second of 10 at Lone Star Park September 12 over 201m, a nose behind Shenoshercowboy with 56kg at $2.80. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

The race before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at Sam Houston Park June 5 over 274m defeating Dulce Gone Wild with 57kg at $2.20. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
