Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BLUE BOON (1) finished 16 lengths behind the winner in eighth over 1m4f at Sam Houston Park (Turf) last start after lifting strongly to score in a. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove tough to beat. MINT (3) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 7f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Likely to take beating. When resuming over 1m1f at listed level at sam houston park (turf), beaten 8 lengths. S Elliott has scored on him two times and is back in the saddle. Can play a role in the finish.
