Sam Houston Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
SOMERVILLE (1) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Looks the one to beat. SUGARFREESUGARBABY (2) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.8 lengths away in second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will take catching. GAB'S HUMOR (7) is a 16-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt) after she was well back on straightening. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. SWIFTLIKETAYLOR (4) finished 10 lengths from the winner in fifth at her most recent outing over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
