Sam Houston Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WMA SMOKE SIGNAL (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 9 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Rates highly and should go well. WMA BIG BABY (2) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 27 lengths into sixth over 1308m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Strips fitter and can feature. QUICK RAE AA (4) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. HONEY PROOF (3) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 4 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again.
