Sam Houston Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden
COWBOY BOB 123 (10) brings the best recent effort after running 3rd at Sam Houston over 320m in a Futurity Trial, beaten 1.8L, and looks the one to beat. VIVA AN IDEA (6) is a key chance after a close 4th at Sam Houston over 320m, beaten 1.1L, and should appreciate the slight rise in trip. FREE FLIGHT (1) was 5th here over 320m, beaten 1.8L, and draws the rail. BRAGGART (5) and REAL FLIRTY RUNAWAY (7) both finished 6th in 274m maidens last time and need improvement at 365m.
