Gillespie County Fairground Race 8 - Trials
L RAYO (5) impressed when successful on debut over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) two months ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. PEPPA (10) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 302m at Sam Houston Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Faces an easier assignment so she is likely to play a big role. AKILES (2) impressed when successful on debut over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) three weeks ago. Has upside and is well-placed to feature again. BE RIGHT BAC (8) finished second last start over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), beaten half a length. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.

Second-up. First start 8th of 10 at Sunland Park on March 17 over 274m, 4.5 len behind Love Ta Fly carrying 57.5kg at $35.80. Went for a break before returning second last of 9 at Ruidoso Downs on June 1 over 320m, 8 len behind Nine One Won with 56kg at $26.60. Unlikely to threaten.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; came from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at Sam Houston Park May 9 over 302m defeating Little Brother 509 with 58kg at $4. Big chance to go two from two.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Sam Houston Park on May 17 over 229m, 0.5 len behind Perry Bogart carrying 56kg at $2.30. The run before that 4th of 9 at Delta Downs on April 27 over 302m, 1.75 len behind Captain Tal with 56kg at $2.40. Promising effort last time out. Solid prospect.
