Sam Houston Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance
KLASS ACTION (3) rates on top after a last‑start win at Sam Houston over 302m in an Allowance 78, taking over late to score by 1L. MR HOCKS (8) is a key chance after finishing 2nd at Sam Houston over 320m, beaten 0.8L, with UP AND GOOD (2) 3rd in the same race and holding appeal back to this trip. FAVORITE LOVE SONG (4) brings sharp speed after a Sam Houston 274m win by 0.25L two weeks ago. CHECK OUT JESS (1) has back‑to‑back Louisiana Downs placings at 320m and 302m and draws the rail, while NSM EDDY THE EAGLE (6) was 3rd behind Queen Of Power at 320m and can figure if he reproduces that.
