Lone Star Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
POLITICAL MONKEY (4) Gave away some ground when 8th last time around here. Looking for an improved run. Should race on the speed. Among better hopes. ZENITH ZTORMI (7) Faded away to finish 5th last time at the track and back to a shorter trip. Should jump out and bowl along. Should go close. HAYDENS SONIC CARTEL (8) Threw down a serious challenge last time here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Can win. GOLDMINE CREEK (9) Ran 5th last time here. Expecting to settle positively. Can win this.

Resuming after a spell of 26 weeks. At $13.00 was ordinary when 10th last time at Sam Houston but having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Pass at this stage.

Weakened to finish 8th last time here. Looking for an improved run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Good prospects.

Jumped at $14.00 and uncompetitive when 7th last start at this venue. Will be trying to topple them late. Watch the betting.

Odds of $12.00 and weakened under pressure when 5th last time here and will be down in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Nice chance at a very tempting price.
