Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Trials
LITENIN (2) is back at the races for the first time since February 7. Scored over 320m at Zia Park at the start of last prep. Has switched to the Janessa Lee Muniz yard. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. RUN ON MONDAY (9) was prominent from the outset when second over 320m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has won over this course and distance. Noe Villatoro who has two wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. FEE TRAIN (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of six months, his last appearance being a win over 366m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. COBRA STONE 77 (5) finished third last time over 320m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player.
