Sam Houston Race 5 - Race 5 - Trials
FLIES LIKE AN EAGLE (5) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 0.3 lengths when resuming last time out over 320m at this track (Dirt). Has the talent to build on that strong effort last start. KARMA CHA CHING (2) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 320m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Sure to measure up. EAGLES A BIT RUSTY (7) finished sixth over 274m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. STREAKIN PRISCILA (6) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 320m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last preparation held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Retama Park on August 1 over 320m, 2.5 len behind Karma Cha Ching carrying 56kg at $4. Won previous preparation first up won by 0.5 len at this track May 8 2025 over 274m defeating Shenoshercowboy carrying 56kg at $2.20. Doesn't appeal.
