Retama Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
LA CAPONERA (5) is yet to break through after eight starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 302m at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt). Has a strong finish. Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance. MS CASH ALLIANCE (3) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 2.75 lengths away in eighth over 229m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. KVNDASHINGCLARET (2) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Miguel Angel Chairez stable. Finished off last campaign with a sixth at Sunland Park (Dirt) five-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Definite winning chance. SPECIAL EAGLE (9) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 2.5 lengths when fifth over 274m at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.

Returns from a 41-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Gillespie County Fairground on July 4 over 302m, 0.6 len behind The Lindsey Pour carrying 56.5kg at $10.70. The start before that from last on the turn ran second last of 9 at this track on June 26 over 274m, 2.25 len behind Call Me Diamante carrying 56.5kg at $23.80. Worth thought after getting close last time.

Resuming after a break of 11 months. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Lone Star Park September 5 over 229m, 1.3 len behind Bobbie Joe Gentry with 56.5kg at $8.60. When resuming last campaign fifth of 9 at this track July 16 2025 over 274m, 0.6 len behind Vp Prize Time Heart with 56.5kg at $6.40. Others make more appeal.
