Sam Houston Race 6 - Governors Cup Marathon S. Stakes
THRILL AND FURY (8) scored an impressive win by 8 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 796m at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and looms as the one to beat again. LOUISIANA MYSTERY (5) ran third at his latest appearance over 796m at Remington Park, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Ready to run well. YIPPEE KI YEY (3) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing seventh over 796m at this track (Dirt). Look for a better run this time out. PEVS KIOTE MOON (1) has switched yards since scoring by 7 lengths at Remington Park over 796m on April 25. Can make his presence felt.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Not raced for 49 days. Resuming 5th of 9 at Remington Park on April 11 over 503m, 4 len behind Cash Back Hero with 57kg at $60.90. Second-up won by 7 len at Remington Park April 25 over 796m defeating Runnin Mann with 57kg at $4.50. Nice draw and worth including.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 7 at Remington Park on May 17 over 796m, 4 len behind Mister Lights Out with 57kg at $4.90. The start before that won by 5 len at Remington Park April 23 over 796m defeating Bp Tres Cartel carrying 57kg at $2.20. Everything points towards a big run.

Last start eased back early on 5th of 8 at this track on May 22 over 796m, 6 len behind Master Reigns with 58kg at $38.40. Before that 4th of 8 at this track in G3 on May 9 over 796m, 7 len behind Fire Bolt B with 58kg at $31.80. Hard to envisage a win today.

Second-up. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after five months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on May 8 over 796m, 8 len behind Thrill And Fury carrying 58kg at $3. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Zia Park on November 30 over 796m, 3 len behind Tizlightning with 58kg at $37.90. Should progress from that first-up run.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after seven months scored a big 8 len win at this track May 8 over 796m defeating Dazzlin Drama carrying 58kg at $2.30. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at Retama Park in LR on June 28 over 796m, 3 len behind Sonny Surfer with 58kg at $22.70. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
