Sam Houston Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden
SPECIAL IVORY OAK (3) appeals as the leading chance, having finished 2nd at Louisiana Downs over 274m before a 6th at Sam Houston in a stronger Futurity Trial. THE HOTTEST CHILITOS (9) was 3rd at Sam Houston over 302m last start, beaten less than a length, and looks a key danger. TRES H BOY (10) also showed ability with a 4th at Remington Park over 274m, beaten 1.8L. HEZA LEAVER (5) and NO SE PRIMO (7) need to improve on recent unplaced efforts.
