Sam Houston Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
LEVETATE (4) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on October 30, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 274m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Sure to make her presence felt. PYC DASH TA PHOEBE (2) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished fifth at this track (Dirt) over 320m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Ben Olaveson. Leading hope and should be tough to stop. VANISH THRU THE FIRE (10) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 201m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) on March 14. Expected to feature in the finish this time. ESTRELLA HECHICERA (7) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on November 6, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 229m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Has found the right race and is worth including.
