Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Trials
BAD BOY 123 (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 302m at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. CORONAS FIRST COWBOY (3) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 302m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Faces an easier assignment so he can recapture winning form. FLYING PARTY SC (6) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 229m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Big chance to break through. RED HOT RACHA (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 302m at this track (Dirt). Has upside and worth including.
