Sam Houston Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
SENSE OF AWE (4) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing seventh, beaten 9 lengths, last time over 1006m at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Well placed and happy to have her on top. DIG BABY DIG (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1408m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MAMA GLOWS (3) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Bonnie Birzer barn. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Santa Anita (Dirt) five months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Expected to be in the finish. K K'S FIRST DANCE (6) improved last time out, finishing 14 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
