Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
KISSBEHAVIN (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 320m at Sunland Park, beaten 2.75 lengths. Strips fitter and can bounce back. SMKINGAMERICAPRISE (5) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just half a length from the winner in second over 201m at Louisiana Downs after being prominent at the bend. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. HIGH TECHSENATOR (10) is a five-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 302m at Remington Park (Dirt). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. MIGHTY BUG LLUVIA (2) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 201m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign 5th of 9 at Lone Star Park on November 8 over 229m, 2 len behind Btd Heart Of Gold with 56kg at $9.90. First up last campaign 8th of 10 at this track on May 16 over 229m, 2.75 len behind Kb Apollitical Wagon with 56kg at $28.80. Looks up against it.
