Lone Star Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
RENTON (11) brings the strongest recent MSW form, runner-up at Lone Star over 1609m on 18 Apr after settling midfield, beaten 3.8L, and was a close 3rd at Sam Houston over 1710m prior. GAME TIME DECISION (9) matched up behind him that day when 3rd at Lone Star and had been 2nd at Sam Houston over 1811m two starts earlier, so profiles as the main danger. ZORRITOS DASH (7) has speed and was caught late when 2nd over 1006m at Sam Houston, and was 2nd over 1710m before that; a stretch to this trip could suit on a heavy track. BERNARDO (1) resumes with longer-trip placings last year including a narrow 2nd at Louisiana Downs over 1509m and can box on from the inside draw.
