Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

GIGANTE (8) finished eighth last time out over 1811m at Fairgrounds Turf, beaten 6 lengths. Expecting a bold showing. HUNT MASTER (3) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 4.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ILLUSTRATOR (1) is racing well. Scored at this track (Turf) two back then finished second, beaten one length, over 1609m at this track (Turf) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Goes well at this journey with four wins from 13 starts and shapes as one to consider. HEAVENVILLE (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 9 lengths win over 1710m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Must be included.
