Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden
POLITICAL ASSASIN (10) lines up for the first time since November 14. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 274m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt. SOVEREIGNTI (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 320m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Finds the right race to break through. CRAPOLITICALDIAMOND (8) returned from a spell two months ago when she was beaten 2.25 lengths into seventh over 320m at Louisiana Downs. Meets a stronger field but she is fitter and capable of running a bold race. DAYQUIRI (5) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Tres Seis from Jess Another Habit who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners.

She is resuming after a six months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 10 at Lone Star Park October 23 over 402m, 3.5 len behind Jess Drive with 56kg at $14.60. On debut ran last of 7 at Remington Park March 8 2025 over 274m, 10 len behind Flying Joy 1 carrying 57.5kg at $33.70. This looks a stern test.
