Sam Houston Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
SIX IRON (2) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Remington Park (Dirt), most recently beaten 4 lengths into second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable assignment and can take the next step and salute. TIZ CONSIDERED (6) resumes from a spell of two years that came after he recorded two straight wins to close last campaign. Expected to measure up again this time in work. UPTOWNEAGLESLANDED (3) finished 6 lengths back in seventh on synthetic two back at Gulfstream Park. Missed the frame again last time out on turf at this track over 1710m five-and-a-half weeks ago. Strong contender back on the dirt. TAKE MY MONEY (4) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Does boast a solid record at the second run back. Deserves another chance in this line up.
