Retama Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
VP DRAGON KING (4) Close to a win last start here. Winning prospect. HOLY MONDAY (5) Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should come to hand quickly. Serious player. ONE CLASSY DYNASTY (7) Tidy run when 3rd last time at the track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Should jump out and bowl along. Worth consideration. EMERGENZ (1) Average effort when 7th last start at the track but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Likely threat.

Was $13.00 and uncompetitive when 7th last start at the track but will appreciate a good draw. Good prospects.

Started $13.00 and underperformed when 8th last run around here but was a debutant last start. Has a good draw. Unlikely to feature.

Resuming after a spell. Started at $33.00 and struggled when 7th last run at Remington Park but facing weaker opposition. Change in trainer. Most likely not today.

Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time here and getting better in recent performances. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will go close here.

First up after a break. Started $43.00 and below par performance when 10th last start at Sam Houston but having second career run. Likely to get back in the run. Hard to recommend.

Looked good when 3rd last time at the track and form has been improving over recent runs. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Capable of winning this.
