Retama Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance
DIAMOND 123 (3) Missed by a narrow margin last time around here and solid career start. Will be positive in the run early. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. In the mix. SMOKE EM YOAKUM (6) Ran 5th last run at this track. Happy to forgive that run but rising in class. Luis L Vivanco and Ben Olaveson make an imposing pair. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. BOLO COWBOY (7) Close to a win last start at Delta Downs and taking on a lower class of opponents. Should come to hand quickly. First appearance for a new trainer. Worth a ticket. KAS CARTEL GL (2) Finished strongly when 3rd last run at Sam Houston and has a good draw. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts but matched against tougher rivals. Right in this.

Made some ground when 5th last time at this track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Expected to settle towards the tail. Pass at this stage.

Ran on strongly when 3rd last run at Sam Houston and can find a nice position from the draw. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. Winning chance at nice odds.

Right up there last time around here and good career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Not up to standard when 9th last time at this track and testing ability against stronger contenders. Sergio Luis Lira stable are on fire recently. Needs to find a lot more.

Fresh after a break. Dictated the tempo to win by a margin of a nose last start at Sam Houston and having second race start. Marginal prospect.

Came in 5th last run here. Happy to forgive that run but competing at a higher level of competition. Great chance.

Narrowly beaten last start at Delta Downs and competing at a lower level of competition. Has early speed and positions nicely. First race for a new trainer. Must be considered here.

Closed off nicely when 4th last run at Gillespie County Fairground but taking on stronger competition. Claudio Ponce Aguilar usually performs well for the Jimmy W Guerra stable. Could put in your exotics.
