Sam Houston Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LANALUAH (4) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1673m in stakes class at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Improvement in store so a big run is on the cards. LEILA MAE (5) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 19 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this circuit. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best figures should see her run well. SOMAVIA (6) scored a commanding win at Listed level at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) over 1207m at her latest appearance on September 27. Sure to make her presence felt. SERIOUS ROCK (1) really dug deep to score by 0.3 lengths three runs back at Remington Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.

Resuming after a six months break. Not seen since winning by 3 len Prairie Meadows LR September 27 over 1207m defeating Lets Shakeit Sugar carrying 53.5kg at $5.20. On debut fifth of 12 at Lone Star Park June 14 over 1006m, 4 len behind Look N Mighty Fine carrying 54kg at $23. Could prove too smart for these.
