TRUE AND READY (7) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing seventh over 5½f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) four months ago. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Can make a winning return. VALDINA DREAMS (1) stuck on well last start to finish second over 7f at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. HOLIDAY RUN (2) finished a 12 length eighth on dirt at Sam Houston Park in a. Switched to turf last time at this track over 5f and again missed the frame, finishing a 9 length tenth. Nicely placed and worth following up back on dirt. FANDO (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 24 when beaten 15 lengths into tenth at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 5½f. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
