Retama Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
FIRST ARTEMIS (6) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 229m at Sam Houston Park. Hard to go past. JEEZUS (1) is yet to break through in four runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was one length away in fourth over 274m at this track (Dirt) last time. Will drift back but wind up late. Overdue and expected to go very well. ZENITH ZTORMI (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 302m at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. SHEZA PATRIOT 47 (3) fought on for third last start over 274m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle.
