Sam Houston Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
EMBER IN THE SKY 3 (2) is still a maiden after eight starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) two starts back when resuming before finishing fourth over 302m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) last time. Well placed this line-up and might be her day. BANKINGONFURY (3) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 274m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Ready to find winning form. NEI LEGACY (8) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced twice in his maiden campaign and wasn't far away on either occasion including the last run when second over 274m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Jockey Luis Angel Maldonado back aboard and is likely to feature. EASY D (6) returns from a spell of six months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 302m when first-up last time in work. Something for the Multiples: DI TRES BLOODS (7) ONE SEPARATE SEIS (10)
