HERE COMES BRAYLON (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Sam Houston Park. Safely held last time out when third over 1408m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. EL GUTY (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1609m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) with today's rider E Valdez-Jiminez engaged. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from nine starts. Should be in the finish. TIBURON (3) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Sam Houston Park nine weeks ago. Expected to be competitive. EDIFIED (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1609m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). The engagement of S Elliott is noteworthy. This is a nice drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. Something for the Multiples: MO HOPE (1)
