STATE OF BLUE (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1f80yards at Retama Park (Dirt) last time out. Has the right credentials. FIRE AND REINE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1f80yards at Retama Park, beaten 2.25 lengths into sixth. Has the ability to find the winners' list. DM SPECIAL HAWK (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 19 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1½f at Retama Park, beaten 3.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LETS GO HAWK (3) resumes from a lay-off of ten months. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1f80yards at Sam Houston Park. Bold showing expected.
