Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

INITIALIZE (5) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on March 15 over 1006m when he got home by 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TREVAGGIO (6) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the turn before finishing second over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.1 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. REMEMBER BIG JIM (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 14 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. TEXIAN DEVIL (2) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Sam Houston Park. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
