Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
SARAYU (4) was having her first run for the Dagoberto Sanchez yard last start when she made steady ground to run into third over 274m at this track (Dirt) at the first run back from a spell. Should be right in the mix again. HYPNOTIK (10) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 229m at this track (Dirt). In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. PYC PATRIOTIC FUN (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 229m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Strips fitter and can find the winners' list. FMM TELLERIMA CORONA (6) last appeared on July 18 when a good sixth over 274m at Retama Park (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths, which was her only run of the campaign. Under the care of new trainer Ramiro Barajas Villarreal this prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently sat on the pace when 2nd of 8 at this track on April 23 over 229m, 1.75 len behind Justice Melody carrying 56.5kg at $4. The start before that 7th of 10 at Louisiana Downs on March 12 over 302m, 3.5 len behind Jess Innocent with 57kg at $5.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.
