Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Trials
KISSEM AND LEAVUM (3) will find this a little easier than his second on debut seven weeks ago, beaten 0.8 lengths at the end of 274m at Remington Park (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so a big run is anticipated. SAY WHEN COWBOY (2) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4 lengths from the winner in sixth at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) over 274m. Can improve sharply and may be worth following up. TOP SHELVE (8) is on debut for the Ramiro Barajas Villarreal stable. Two-year-old filly by Tarzanito from Tf Dashin Ms Perry. Keep an eye on betting moves. VIVA AN IDEA (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) over 201m, beaten 4 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.

At debut, 5th of 10 at Remington Park on April 9 over 302m, 5 len behind Kid Kawliga carrying 56kg at $8.30. Satisfactory effort on debut but might need a little more time.
