Sam Houston Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
WORTH LOOKING (1) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Winning jockey stays aboard and expected to feature. HANDSOME HAROLD (2) scored by 1.3 lengths last start at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1006m after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from eight starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. TURQUOISE BLUE (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1408m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ALLO ENRY (11) has switched yards since finishing fourth two weeks ago over 1710m at Fairgrounds. Can measure up for the new barn. Something for the Multiples: VODKA MARTINI (7)

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 5th of 7 at this track on January 16 over 1308m, 3 len behind My Good Good Boy with 55.5kg at $2.20. Second-up won by 2 len at this track February 6 over 1408m defeating Derby Date carrying 56kg at $2.70. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Delta Downs January 8 over 1006m defeating Warp Ride carrying 53.5kg at $4.60. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Delta Downs February 4 over 1006m defeating Huey Duey with 55kg at $4.20. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1207m.

Form hard to fault. Last start got back early in a small field at this track on February 7 over 1408m, 8 len behind Threefiftyseven with 56kg at $1.70. The start before that won by 1.3 len at this track January 10 over 1207m defeating Flotation Station carrying 55kg at $2.90. Excellent winning chance with the help of an inside stall.

Racing well recently. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track on February 20 over 1006m, 1.3 len behind My Wife Is Right with 56kg at $2.40. The run before that favourite; scored a big 3 len win at Delta Downs January 22 over 1006m defeating Half Full with 54.5kg at $1.70. Not far away last start. Big chance.
