Group 3 placegetter OCELOT (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0.3 lengths over this trip at Sam Houston Park (Turf). Has a good record at this trip with four wins and zero placings. Top chance. RODEO CHAMP (5) finished 1.1 lengths behind the winner in third over 1m at Sam Houston Park (Turf) last start after lifting strongly to score in a. Jose L Alvarez stays on. Should be in the finish. MOR LANA SPIRIT (2) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 12 lengths away in eighth over 1m at Sam Houston Park. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. THICK HAZE (10) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at Sam Houston Park (Turf) over 1m4f. Has a wide gate here but has solid claims.
