Lone Star Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming

TAKE THIS CITY (7) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Expected to go well. TEXAS HUNK (5) could only manage eighth on dirt over 1308m at Sam Houston Park two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1006m at Sam Houston Park Turf more recently. Hard to fault if at his best. Big chance to atone. E Z WORDS (2) is yet to break through after eight starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1207m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Has a strong finish. Has ability and expected to feature. RED DIRT ALLEY (3) raced on the speed last time and fought on well to finish third over 1207m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Must be respected.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 8 at Sam Houston Park on March 29 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind One Deal with 56kg at $4.40. The race before that 2nd of 8 at Sam Houston Park on March 21 over 1609m, 9 len behind Win's Image with 56kg at $4.60. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Sam Houston Park on March 29 over 1207m, 0.9 len behind One Deal with 54kg at $15.40. The start before that ran last of 9 at Sam Houston Park on March 1 over 1308m, 16 len behind Slamin Sammie with 55.5kg at $51.50. Capable of a big finish so don't write him off.
