Sam Houston Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden
MITOLES PRINCESS (9) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 2nd at Lone Star Park over 366m, beaten 0.8L, and also placed 3rd two starts back. DULCE GONE WILD (7) is a key danger, having run 3rd at Will Rogers Downs over 229m before a 5th last start. CHILITOS MOVIN MONEY (2) was runner-up at Lone Star Park three starts ago and has been competitive in similar company. TEMPLATE (3) comes off a 4th at Lone Star Park over 366m, beaten 1.1L, and has placed at this level previously. These four shape as the main contenders based on recent form.

Resumes after a 164-day break, having finished 6th of 10 at Lone Star Park over 320m last start, beaten 2.1L at $31 behind Rr Royal Lew. Has finished 6th or 7th in all five career runs to date, including at this track and distance. Remains a maiden but gets a slight weight rise and barrier improvement. Needs to lift on exposed form but can improve fresh.
