Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
ROCKY ROCK IT (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1609m at this track (Turf). Wide draw and will need a good steer from S Elliott. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WITHERING GAZE (4) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1609m at this track (Turf), finishing 4 lengths back in sixth. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. RUNNING POINT (3) went fast early and kicked strongly to score over 1673m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last time. Should be ridden forward again and will be in this for a long way. GUARD OF HONOUR (7) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Sam Houston Park but raced below expectations last time over 1609m at this track (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

The run before that got back early 4th in a small field at this track on February 8 over 1710m, 6 len behind Down The Islands carrying 55.5kg at $11.10. Rather invest elsewhere.
