Lone Star Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
MELLENCAMP (2) brings the strongest recent figures, twice placed at Santa Anita over 1609m including a 2nd beaten 4.8L, and was 3rd at Sam Houston last start; the drop back in trip with blinkers looks a positive. WASTED WARRIOR (6) has tactical speed and arrives race-fit after leading and finishing 2nd over 1609m here two weeks ago. SANDS OF TIME (3) wasn’t far away at Santa Anita over 1308m, beaten 4L after racing handy, and can improve with blinkers. TAPCON (4) resumes after a Fair Grounds debut over 1207m and can take a step forward drawn better.
