ROCKET TEMPTATION (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to find the placings at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fifth over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last start. This looks his chance to break through. VOLCOM TAC (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 320m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ELEGANT PRIZE (7) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. This is a more suitable contest and can take this out. SANREMO (1) was always well out of his ground when 2.25 lengths from the winner in ninth over 274m at Sam Houston Park last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at Sam Houston Park the run before. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 10 at Sam Houston Park on May 23 over 320m, 7 len behind Coronas First Cowboy with 56kg at $52.80. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.
