Sam Houston Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance
WALKERS CREEK (6) scored a dirt track win two back over 1106m at this track then followed up with a minor placing on turf over 1006m at Sam Houston Park Turf most recently. Winning rider Freddy Jose Manrrique stays aboard. Well placed and should be in the finish. COOL AGENT (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Capable of taking the next step. DON'T BACKDOWN (5) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of ten months and looking to emulate his win at Lone Star Park to kick off the last campaign. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. OLD MONEY (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Comes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on February 15 over 1006m, 14 len behind Dr Skyscraper carrying 54.5kg at $4.60. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily of 7 at this track in LR on January 24 over 1207m, 15 len behind Big Time Charlie with 54.5kg at $16.90. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
