Lone Star Park Race 5

Stake: -

I'M A DUDE TO (7) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at this venue. Happy to overlook that run but up against a more competitive field. Should come to hand quickly. Winning hope. GRIND JIM (1) Showed some merit late when 5th last start around here and matched against less formidable competition. Been in the money multiple times this campaign and drawn beautifully. Down in distance. Won't be far away. OUTLAW EMPIRE (4) Not in contention when 5th last run here but has been racing in stronger company. Worth a ticket. ELIGIO (5) Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last time at this track but up in grade. Back to a shorter trip. Has scope so do not ignore.

Jumped at $7.00 and ran past a few when 5th last start around here and up against weaker rivals. Has run into the money multiple times this campaign. Strong prospects in this race.
