Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden
JETBLACK CORONA CHIC (5) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 320m at Louisiana Downs when she finished second. This is her first run for the Arnoldo L Pena stable. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. HIGH DASHING (1) turned in a fair effort at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 229m at her last run five months ago, finishing sixth and beaten 1.4 lengths. Sure to make her presence felt. MIGHTY BUG REASON (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 201m on October 31. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Sergio Fuentes. Worth plenty of thought. MR KING TONY (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a four-and-a-half months break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Re-unites with Jose Elias Villarreal. Solid top-three hope.
