Sam Houston Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

CHASING COYOTES (3) was prominent from the outset when second over 1673m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. RING SEEKER (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Has scope for improvement so a top-three finish is on the cards. RAROTONGA (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1710m at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Placed to advantage and can run a better race. ESSAY (2) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1308m at Delta Downs. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

Last start ran last of 7 at Sam Houston Park Turf on February 8 over 1710m, 8 len behind Trevaggio carrying 55kg at $23.50. Before that got back early 6th of 9 at Sam Houston Park Turf on January 23 over 1609m, 7 len behind Proven Advocate with 55kg at $25.30. Capable of more – worth another chance.
