TEXIAN DEVIL (8) has not appeared since he got the cash over 1m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on June 22. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DOMINANT SPIRIT (5) finished 11 lengths from the winner in seventh on turf at Sam Houston Park Turf two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Sam Houston Park Turf over 1m when 5 lengths adrift in sixth. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from six starts and is sure to go well. STRIKE RIDGE (2) finished 11th over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on January 4. Lines up. For the first time for trainer William Bret Calhoun. Makes plenty of appeal. BOURBON CURIOSITY (3) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 0. 8 lengths last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
