Sam Houston Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
VP ROCKET RYON (3) resumed over 796m at Remington Park (Dirt) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 2 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and happy to have him on top. SUPERFRAGILISTIC (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 1, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths over 796m in stakes class at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Expect him to play a major role. JTC DUTCH N MEXICO (5) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Remington Park but raced below expectations last time over 503m at Remington Park (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 11 lengths. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. FLYIN RUSTY (1) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 503m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on November 14. Can make his presence felt.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation second last of 8 at Lone Star Park September 19 over 503m, 4 len behind Light Em Up Rooster with 58kg at $26.30. When resuming last campaign ran last of 7 at this track June 12 over 402m, 6 len behind Lil Perry Wagon carrying 56.5kg at $47.60. This looks too tough.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of seven months. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at Lone Star Park October 3 over 796m, 2 len behind Superfragilistic with 58kg at $6.90. First up last campaign fifth of 8 at this track May 22 over 366m, 2.5 len behind Jess Perfect Moon with 58kg at $11.20. Should be right in the mix.
