Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Optional Claiming
LIL PERRY WAGON (9) is having his first run since December 14. Goes well when fresh with two wins and three placings from eight starts. Expected to go very well. YIPPEE KI YEY (1) resumed five-and-a-half weeks ago over 366m at Sunland Park and was only beaten 2 lengths into seventh. Second up record is sound. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. FRASIER (6) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Abraham Carrillo stable. Hasn't raced since finishing seventh at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) five months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Among the leading chances. HEZA KVN (8) is back at the races for the first time since November 15. Scored over 503m at Lone Star Park to launch the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
