Sam Houston Race 12 - Sam Houston Futurity Stakes
DK BONITA JESS (2) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by 0.3 lengths over 320m at this track (Dirt). Going well and shapes as a top prospect again. JJ KISS (1) returned to winning form last start, scoring by half a length over this journey at this track (Dirt). Among the leading chances. CORONAS FIRST COWBOY (7) scored last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the turn. Boasts excellent form at today's trip with three wins from four starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. LET IT B COWGIRL (6) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by a nose over 320m at this track. Serious contender.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, won by 2 len at this track April 17 over 302m defeating Remember Me Favorite carrying 56kg at $2.30. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on May 23 over 320m, nose behind Coronas First Cowboy carrying 56kg at $2.60. Will find this a bit too tough.
