Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
RCV BLUE FIRE (9) returned last time with a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 320m after being in the firing line on the corner. This is a nice race and can find winning form. PYC PATRIOTIC FUN (3) is building up to a win, most recently finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 320m at this track (Dirt). Don't underestimate. C SHES LUCKY LADY (2) is back at the races for the first time since May 30. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 366m at Sam Houston Park. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. One to consider. BE THE ANSWER (1) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at his latest appearance over 366m at this track (Dirt). Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.

Filly back from a spell of 11 weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at Sam Houston Park May 30 over 402m, a neck behind Aj Taylors War Eagle with 58kg at $3.90. When resuming last campaign third of 10 at Sam Houston Park April 25 over 366m, 0.6 len behind Real Deal Lajolla with 58kg at $6.90. Look for a bold run.
