Sam Houston Race 4 - Race 4 - Trials
CRYSTAL BOI (6) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 274m at Remington Park (Dirt) 11 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can measure up again. FIRST ARTEMIS (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 229m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. JJ KISS (2) will find this easier than last start when he raced in a rearwards position and never threatened, finishing seventh over 274m in Group 2 grade at Sunland Park (Dirt). That effort came on the back of a win two back at Sunland Park (Dirt). Anticipating sharp improvement. KJ MONEY MAKER (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 302m at this track (Dirt). Has upside and worth including.
