Sam Houston Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden
NOBLE FAST MAN (8) sets the standard after a solid 2nd at Sam Houston over 796m last start, beaten 2.8L, and has multiple recent placings. WL HICLASS GENTLEMAN (3) was 3rd in the same race, 3.8L off the winner, and draws to get a similar run. SHES FAMOUS (6) showed early speed when 5th over 796m here, and a repeat jump can put her in the mix. TOO BROKE TO QUIT (1) has prior 2nd and 3rd placings and drops back from a tougher last start.

Back in trip after a 402m Sam Houston run on 23 Apr, where she was 9th of 9 beaten 5L in a Maiden 69 after settling back. Prior Prairie Meadows efforts over 274m were 7th/9 beaten 3.5L and 7th/9 beaten 3.2L.
