Lone Star Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
VOLCOM TAC (10) Appeared lacklustre when 7th last time at Retama Park and rising in class. The wide alley shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Goes close. APOLLITICAL SPARK (1) Took charge of the race when winning by 1L last start at Retama Park and having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Drawn the rails. Up in class. Among better hopes. JLC RAGS TO RICHES (2) Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 2L last run at Retama Park and has a good draw. Will be hitting the line strongly. Competing in a higher grade. Has claims. DORLENA (5) Couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last start at Retama Park but testing ability against stronger contenders. Can be competitive.

Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of 1L last start at Retama Park and having second career run. Won't be far away during the run. Great chance.

Zipped home into 3rd last run at Retama Park and has a positive alley. Has a great burst of speed late. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Has some claims.

Resuming after a spell. Odds of $9.50 and looked flat when 7th last run at Delta Downs and matched against tougher rivals. Might be ridden for luck. Could put in your exotics.

Faded away to finish 9th last start at Retama Park and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Likely to get back. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Hard to recommend.
