Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Ratings Handicap

HUNT MASTER (7) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1509m in stakes class at Woodbine. Rates highly and should take some beating. EXCAPING THE BLUES (1) returns from a break of three months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a eighth over 1509m at Remington Park. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. OCELOT (4) could only manage eighth last start over 2414m in stakes class at this track (Turf), beaten 17 lengths. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Capable of running a big race. MALIBU MAMBO (2) drifted back when resuming last start over 2414m in stakes class at this track (Turf) and failed to threaten, beaten 9 lengths into sixth. Well placed in this easier race. Well placed and not to be discounted.
