Sam Houston Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
CONTESSA'S SONG (4) Tired towards the finish when 5th last time at the track and facing an increased distance. Worth consideration. COUNTY SLUGGER (5) Gave nothing else a chance when winning last time here. Key player. BOLTORO (8) Looked good when 2nd last start around here on a heavy rated track. Stewart Elliott and Steven M Asmussen are usually competitive together. Will be trying to topple them late. Suitably placed in this race. KAMIKAZE (2) First up and ran on hard when winning first up last preparation at Remington Park. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has a positive alley. Could go well.
