Sam Houston Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
EDGE CHASER (2) Narrowly beaten last run at the track and has a positive gate. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Winnable race. MOON CRATER (1) Moved ahead of some to finish 5th last start here and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Finishes off strongly. Looks to be value. SPIRIT OF VETERANS (4) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time here. Should be going forward early. Can go on with it. DOC'S DELIGHT (6) 3yo first starter by Doctor Romane for trainer Mindy J Willis. Watch the market moves.
