Sam Houston Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

OCELOT (4) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Remington Park (Turf), most recently beaten 2 lengths into third over 1509m at Remington Park (Turf). Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. REGAL TERKA (5) returns from a spell of three months and did win first-up last time in work over 1710m at this track (Turf). Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. RUDDY BUDDY (7) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 3219m at Gulfstream Park, clocking in 18 lengths from the winner. Worth plenty of thought. BOBBY BRINKLEY (2) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 1509m at Remington Park. That followed a win at Remington Park the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
