Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
JJS DASHIN PERRY (4) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when eighth over 201m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Has further improvement to come and is ready to win. VALIANT ANNEE GL (5) last appeared on November 14 when a good sixth over 201m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), beaten 0.6 lengths. Should be hard to stop. JLC SEVEN OR ELEVEN (1) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Turned in a fair effort at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 201m at his only run last prep, finishing seventh and beaten 1.5 lengths. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Sergio Fuentes. Sure to make his presence felt. TRAIN HOPPIN (3) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fifth over 201m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) five-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. Something for the Multiples: JLC BIG BOY IS BACK (2)
