Sam Houston Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
JULY WATTERS (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 320m at Sunland Park (Dirt). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. A DASHING PERRY (4) turned in a nice run first-up at Louisiana Downs then wasn't too far away last time over 274m at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 2.5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. EYEN MY GRACE (9) is a seven-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 3 lengths when seventh over 302m at this track (Dirt). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. SWINGIN TEMPTATION (2) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Turned in a fair effort at Sunland Park (Dirt) over 302m at her only run last prep, finishing fifth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal.
