Sam Houston Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight

MATAGORA BAY (1) Placed 2nd last time at Remington Park and gets a favourable gate. Won't be far away during the run. Respect. SECRET KNOCK (3) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Remington Park. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts. Can give this a shake. SISTER HONEY (6) First up from a break of 14 weeks and honest race when 2nd first up last preparation at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Change in trainer but coming back in distance. Winnable race. CIRCA STAR (5) Attacked the line when 2nd last time at Remington Park and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Jockey Stewart Elliott and trainer Steven M Asmussen are a strong team. Looks a great place bet.
