Sam Houston Race 7 - Sam Houston 550 S. Stakes
WHATA LOTA BOY (6) finds it hard to win with just one success from 12 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 366m at Remington Park. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. TOP COWBOY (5) was going well before a spell with two straight minor placings. Proven first-up performer back from a break of seven months. Sure to feature. TH MAI TAI TOM (1) wasn't far away first up last start when fifth over 302m at this track (Dirt). May appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Expected to feature in the finish. IMMA SWEET DIVA (2) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when third, beaten 1.3 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 366m. Record here is impressive with two wins from six starts. Worth considering.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resumes off a 55 day letup. First-up ran second last of 9 at Remington Park in G2 on March 28 over 402m, 3 len behind Stetsonn with 57kg at $33.50. Last start came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Remington Park on April 19 over 366m, 2.5 len behind Church Spire with 57kg at $4. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 503m.
