Sam Houston Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn
NORWALK (10) is yet to break through after four starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 320m at this track (Dirt). Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance. BLOODWORK (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 229m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Can get off the mark this time. D TEXAS COWBOY 123 (7) debuted five-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished eighth over 229m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Fitter and the blinkers come off. One of the main hopes. SHF RIDE THE TIDE (3) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 274m at this track (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.

At debut, settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at this track on May 2 over 229m, 2.25 len behind The Hottest Chilitos with 56kg at $8.40. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on May 16 over 274m, 1.75 len behind Queen Stone carrying 56kg at $5.90. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on April 17 over 302m, 2.5 len behind Reverzcowgirl with 56kg at $17.40. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
