Sam Houston Race 4 - Q-Racing Video Distance Challenge S. Stakes
FIRE BOLT B (6) is racing well this time in work, including a last start win over 796m at this track (Dirt) to bring up three wins from four runs in the campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. GJR ROOSTER (7) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 796m at this track (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Has a solid second-up record and is expected to run well again. DM SPECIAL CAT (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 796m at this track (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. HEZAMONZTER (5) has two placings from three runs this campaign and last start finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 796m at this track (Dirt). Don't underestimate.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track April 24 over 796m defeating Hezamonzter with 58kg at $1.70. The run before that won by 0.8 len at Sunland Park March 28 over 796m defeating Mr Jess Effort carrying 58kg at $5.50. Definite chance.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track April 24 over 796m defeating Dm Special Cat carrying 58kg at $1.10. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at this track in LR on June 14 over 796m, 0.8 len behind Master Reigns with 58kg at $4. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Previously second-up ran last of 8 at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino in G1 on October 26 2024 over 796m, 9 len behind Volcoms Favorite carrying 58kg at $10.40.
