Sam Houston Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $52,970

SEVEN TAYLORS (7) Fresh today after a break. Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Oaklawn Park. Jockey Stewart Elliott and trainer Steven M Asmussen go well together. Key player. KING OF THE DISCO (2) Folded up in the straight when 6th last run at this venue. Should improve from the last run and can find a nice position from the draw. Worth consideration. SOUND OF VICTORY (6) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last time here. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. KEEP UP THE PACE (3) Tidy run when 3rd last time at the track. Has a great burst of speed late. One of the hopes.
