MARC (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1609m at SAM HOUSTON PARK (Turf). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SPECIAL AGENDA (3) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to find the placings at Remington Park (Dirt) two starts back before finishing seventh over 1609m at SAM HOUSTON PARK (Turf) last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER (7) is a six-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at SAM HOUSTON PARK (Dirt) over 1673m after being in the firing line on the bend. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. SHANGHAI CUPID (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at SAM HOUSTON PARK. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
