Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Futurity Trial
JVM HOT VICTORIA (2) was far from disgraced to finish a nose away in second last start over 302m at this track. That followed a win on debut at Remington Park. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. A POLITICAL RISK (5) missed the placings on debut two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 274m at Remington Park, beaten one length after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. SAN CHILITAS (9) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 229m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.2 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. PAINTED CUTAROCK (1) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten a nose, over 229m at this track (Dirt). Has upside and must be respected.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on April 25 over 229m, nose behind Chilita Especial carrying 57kg at $11. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening his account.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at Remington Park March 15 over 274m defeating Turbo Boost with 56kg at $9.50. Last start 2nd of 10 at this track on April 17 over 302m, nose behind Abouta Get Western carrying 56kg at $11.10. Racing well. Has strong claims.

Second-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at Remington Park on April 25 over 274m, 1.0 len behind Magic Candy with 56.5kg at $30. Key chance expected to feature.

Was well in the market at debut, second last in a small field at this track on April 25 over 229m, 1.75 len behind Chilita Especial with 56kg at $4.90. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.
