Lone Star Park Race 1

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $56,268

GOLDEN GRIT (6) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the corner over 1308m at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ROCKETS RED FLAIR (4) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.1 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Richard E Eramia scored on him last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. HE IS HEAVEN SENT (5) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. TEXAS CREED (2) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1006m at this track (Turf). Likely to be about the money again.
