Sam Houston Race 1 - Race 1 - Trials
ROSE BUG BUZZ (2) brings the clearest platform after a 3rd at Sam Houston over 274m, beaten 2L when prominent early, and looks suited rising to 320m. TEXAS REPUBLIC GAL (10) was 5th at Sam Houston over 302m, beaten 2.8L, and can build from that. MS FUN N FANCY LIPS (5) wasn’t far away when 5th over 229m here, 2.5L off the winner, and the extra trip could help. SEIS FIRE DASH (3) was 5th at Delta Downs over 302m, beaten 1.7L, which reads well for a spot in the finish.
