Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden
EAGLE DESIRE (10) made a promising debut over 302m at this track (Dirt) last start, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so he will prove tough to beat. TO BE A COWBOY (8) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish third over 302m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. JA MAKIN ME BOLT (7) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 320m at this track (Dirt) on April 24. Fitter and is among the chances. MALLBORO ROJO (1) faced the starter for the first time and finished ninth last start at this track (Dirt) over 302m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.
