GRACE N DASH (5) is going well with four minor placings from five starts this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1f180yards at Retama Park (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ANGELS BLOOD (2) finished fifth two runs back at Retama Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect after being in the firing line on the corner over 1f31yards at Retama Park (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again. THE BIG PATRIOT (9) started at 7/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt) over 1f130yards. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. ZSUZANNAH (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 17 when beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth at Retama Park (Dirt) over 1f31yards after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
