Sam Houston Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden
ICEMAN WATTERS (3) profiles best after a close 3rd here over 302m 13 days ago, beaten 1.1L, and drops to 56.5 with strong Sam Houston figures (2: 0-1-1). DI FDD DANCER (2) is the main danger after a 0.5L 2nd at Lone Star over 229m when leading, and his early pace should shape the dash. POOR DECISION (5) comes off a 0.6L 3rd here over 366m and stays in the mix back to this trip. MIGHTY BUG REASON (4) was 4th here over 274m, beaten 0.9L, and has several recent thirds to his name.
