Sam Houston Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
JO PLAYMAKER (9) sets the standard after a debut 3rd at Remington Park over 274m, beaten 1.6L, and looks suited rising to 320m. MEGAMILLION GL (8) was 6th at Sam Houston over 320m, beaten 2.1L after racing handy, and is a key chance with that course-and-distance run. ITS TEE TIME A W (6) wasn’t far away when 6th here over 274m, beaten 2.3L, and can figure with natural improvement. EL TIEMPO (5) has trial form at 274m and wasn’t disgraced when 8th here, beaten 3.7L, and could hold a placing hope.
