Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
BRINK OF WAR (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 12 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1308m at Remington Park (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Remington Park over 1106m. Ready for a bold run. POWER POUR (9) is a four-year-old colt on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Higher Power from J P's Flashy Honey. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to his career despite a tricky draw. STORMY AT MIDNIGHT (6) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Remington Park but disappointed last time when tenth, beaten 19 lengths, at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. NOSNOS (3) is a first-starter by Yaupon from Quay who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Promising type who should be monitored for market support.
