Sam Houston Park Race 1 - Nongraded stake/handicap
PONTE TRUCHA (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 274m in a Group 2 at Louisiana Downs (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected be in the finish. RINC (10) is a two-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Juan Jr Diaz stable. Finished off last campaign when fifth at Remington Park (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but rates well this line-up. Expected to be in the finish. A LETHAL JAMES (9) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight, holding on for third and beaten 4 lengths over 274m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. SHEZA SERIOUS DASH (3) is a two-year-old filly from the John A Stinebaugh stable on debut today. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Louisiana Downs on March 13 over 274m, 0.3 len behind Plausibledeniability carrying 55.5kg at $46.10. Second-up won by 0.8 len at Louisiana Downs G2 April 3 over 274m defeating Beaus First Dynasty carrying 55.5kg at $23.80. Rates well. Big chance.

Was well-supported at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Louisiana Downs on March 13 over 274m, 4 len behind One Fine V with 55.5kg at $3.60. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening his account.
