Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
LIL KOOL CAT (2) Uncompetitive when 6th last time at this venue. Happy to forgive that run and competing in a less challenging grade. Should be going forward early. Definite claims. DM SPECIAL CAT (7) Finished 3rd last start around here. One of the major players. HEZA FAST CHILITOS (5) Ran on into 4th last time around here and going up in distance. Jockey Paulina Ramirez and trainer Roberto G Madrigal have a solid working relationship. Betting may be best guide to the chances and each way is the likely play. OMG ITS JESS (4) First up. Missed by a narrow margin last run at Sunland Park. Change in trainer. Solid each way claims.
