Retama Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
THAT A POOL DEAL (4) Career debut 2yo by Real Cartel for Isidro Hinojosa. Betting is the best guide. FISCAL CHIEF (8) Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time at Sam Houston. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can go on with it. ITS TEE TIME A W (3) Got going late when 5th last time at Sam Houston but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Winnable race. BANDIT IN STILETTOS (1) Resuming after a spell. Tailed off when 6th last time at Sam Houston but drawn the rails. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Outside chance for exotics.

Resumes after a break. Was $16.00 and lacked competitiveness when 6th last time at Sam Houston but has drawn to do little work. Likely to settle back in the field. Pass at this stage.

Started at $33.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last run at Sam Houston but gets a favourable alley. Does take a while to get into stride. In a lot of trouble.

Fresh today after a break. Started $13.00 and below expectations when 8th last start at Sam Houston but having second career run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Hard to take.

On a short back up. Finished 6th last run around here. May find these too slick.

Folded up in the straight when 7th last start at Sam Houston. Others are more appealing.

Outgunned at the finish when 3rd last time at Sam Houston. Won't be far away during the run. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.
