Sam Houston Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TIZABLING (3) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has a solid record at this circuit. Sure to go well. TEXAS CREED (5) was a fresh up winner on dirt two runs back, scoring over 1308m at this track. Disappointed last start on turf when unplaced over 1609m at this track. Winning rider E Valdez-Jiminez sticks. Should be in the finish. BOBBY BRINKLEY (4) finished 9 lengths from the winner in seventh on turf at this track two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at this track over 1609m when 6 lengths adrift in fourth. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is expected to be competitive. TURN NORTH (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1408m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
