Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance

RICH STRIKE (7) last raced when successful by 0.3 lengths over 229m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) six months ago. Should be hard to stop. MISTICAL CYNS (8) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when ninth over 274m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Has further improvement to come and looks a clear threat. AKILES (1) is back at the races for the first time since October 30. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 201m at Lone Star Park. Looks a strong top-three prospect. KADILLAKING (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 366m at Remington Park, beaten 2.75 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
