Sam Houston Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
SPIRIT BOK (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when 4.5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 320m at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. MARY ANNS CORONA (2) finished fifth over 366m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. LAST EAGLE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 366m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. SEA ME FLY (9) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track (Dirt) over 302m, beaten 2.5 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish.

This Giorgino colt is a four-year-old having his first start. This looks a tricky race for him.

Second-up. First start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Lone Star Park on November 6 over 201m, 1.5 len behind My Favorite Holiday carrying 56kg at $6. Went for a spell before returning 7th of 10 at this track on April 30 over 229m, 4 len behind Sadie Sweet Watters carrying 56.5kg at $19.20. Unlikely to threaten.

At debut, ran last of 9 at this track on April 30 over 302m, 8 len behind A Streakin Hawkeye with 58.5kg at $22.10. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
