Sam Houston Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
C SHES LUCKY LADY (5) brings the best recent figure here, having run 3rd at Sam Houston over 366m on 25 Apr, beaten 0.6L, and can bounce back dropping from a tougher 402m last start. AJ TAYLORS WAR EAGLE (7) closed 5th over 402m here two weeks ago and owns a prior 3rd at Lone Star over this trip, making her the main danger. JR SEPARATIST (6) was 4th at Sam Houston over 274m last time, beaten 1.1L, and maps as an improving chance up to 402m. ONE SWEET TEQUILA (2) mixes form but did place 3rd over 503m at Retama and has blinkers on, which could sharpen him early.
